Application scoped POJO starts twice

[earnest.dyke]

Greetings all,

I have an application scoped POJO, which if I read the doc correctly should be a singleton (see below) but when I deploy the app, I see the constructor is executed twice. Any ideas what might cause this?

@Startup
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Name("hackingMonitor")
public class HackingMonitor implements Serializable {
...
}

My apologies, forgot the specs. Seam 2.2.

Adding @BypassInterceptors fixed the problem.

Thing is, it is not a 'problem'. The constructor being called twice does not necessarily mean you got two instances. Add a @Create method and do your logging there to check how many times the component is instantiated.

And when using IoC the best way is to hook into a lifecycle event because nothing about constructors is guaranteed.
