This forum install is a pile of .... ;) You can always send an email if you like :)

So, the point at which Seam has finished init is just before Lifecycle.endInitialization() - that just cleans up the temporary contexts and runs startup. It won't work after Lifecycle.endInitialization() as there are no contexts active (as you say ;) I suppose it could go in lifecycle after startup.

Sammy, you can use the org.jboss.seam.postInitialization event in CVS - it runs last so all Seam components should be available by then.

We have a similar problem. We have to initialize a Catalog seam component from database when seam is started.
Our solution:
Catalog is application scoped. Our users must login before they can use the app.
So we put this statement in our authorization bean:

@In(create = true)
 private Catalog catalog;

Forget my post. i haven't read the second page of this thread before posting:-(

I will try org.jboss.seam.postInitialization event but i must find time:-(
