The problem was the injected reference to the stateless session bean was being called one time from inside the constructor for the backing bean.

I haven't used JSF, but i think you should be using the injected reference after @PostConstruct and not in the constructor of the managed bean.

public class MyBackingBean ...
{

 @EJB
 private MyEJB ejb;

 public MyBackingBean()
 {
 ... // don't use the bean here, its not yet injected
 }

 @PostConstruct
 public void myPostConstruct()
 {
 // use the bean here, since this is called after
 // resources have been injected
 ejb.doSomething();
 }
...
