@RequestParameter: annotated method is called 22 times

[axismundi]

hello Seam architects

I have a session-scoped SFSB with a method annotated like this:

@RequestParameter("orderNumber")

The method is being called properly.
But why is it called 22 times? What is the purpose of calling it multiple times?

According to its defined purpose, it should be called once and only once.

22 times over what period? Where is it defined it should be called once?

22 times over what period? Where is it defined it should be called once?

over the period of one HTTP-request.
I have no idea what might be the purpose of injecting a static value (like a request parameter) more than once into the component.
Maybe there is something wrong with my application-design, but there is really nothing special involved. It's based on Seam 2.0 and Icefaces 1.6.1.

I mention this because I have also observed other redundant method calls (but did not yet analyze it systematically).

A full analysis would be interesting. Let us know what you find :)
