While trying to completely undeploy my EJB (see this topic: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=114251 ) I decided to try and track the creation and the destruction of my EJB3 Stateless Bean.

In order to do so, I implemented my methods the following way:

@PostConstruct
public void postConstruct() {
 logger.info("PostConstruct, MonitoringEngineBean is alive.");
}

@PreDestroy
public void preDestroy() {
 logger.info("PreDestroy, we release the LogFactory.");
 LogFactory.release(MonitoringEngineBean.class.getClassLoader());
}

I am certain that my log4j configurations are correct because I'm able to get logs elsewhere in my application, but I was wondering what could prevent the @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotated methods from executing.


Thanks!
