AS7 Stateless Beans and Annotations

[bill.rosenberg]

I am trying to make sure all the annotations on my stateless beans are working. I do not see any of the methods I have annotated with the following being executed. What am I missing?

@Stateless

@Startup

@LocalBean

@TransactionManagement(value=TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)

@TransactionAttribute(value=TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED)

public class MyBean

{

@Remove

    public void remove()  {

        System.out.println("****HotelEJBBean.remove() called");

    }

@PostConstruct

    public void PostConstruct() 

    {

        System.out.println("****HotelEJBBean.postConstruct() called");

    }

@PreDestroy

    public void preDestroy() 

    {

        System.out.println("****HotelEJBBean.preDestroy() called");

    }

@PostActivate

    public void postActivate() 

    {

        System.out.println("****HotelEJBBean.postActivate() called");

    }

@PrePassivate

    public void prePassivate() 

    {

        System.out.println("****HotelEJBBean.prePassivate() called");

    }

}

Hi Bill,

the @Startup annotation will only have an effect if you use @Singleton instead of @Staeless.

@PrePassivate and @PostActivate are only available for StatefullBeans (only here you have passivation)

Also you should notice that all public callback methods are included in the NoInterfaceView!

[bill.rosenberg]

I updated the bean to remove the passivate and postactivate callbacks and the other callbacks are still not being called.

Do you replace @Stateless with @Singleton, only Singleton Beans can have a eager initialization.

See the EJB specification chapter 4.7/4.8
