EJB3.1 spec 4.8.4: destroying singleton because of error during initialization is not honored --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-9391 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9391 Project: Legacy JBoss Application Server 6 Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: EJB Affects Versions: 6.0.0.Final Environment: $ uname -a Linux tumlatum 2.6.38-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Sun May 8 15:43:39 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux Reporter: Pierre Kobylanski Assignee: Carlo de Wolf ejb 3.1 spec [4.8.4 Singleton Error Handling] says that "Errors occurring during Singleton initialization are considered fatal and must result in the discarding of the Singleton instance." I tried to raise a system exception in the @PostConstruct method of a singleton bean. Logs show the deployment error. But I then can access and call the singleton methods. -- Full paragraph 4.8.4: ----------------------------- Errors occurring during Singleton initialization are considered fatal and must result in the discarding of the Singleton instance. Possible initialization errors include injection failure, a system exception thrown from a PostConstruct method, or the failure of a PostConstruct method container-managed transaction to successfully commit. If a singleton fails to initialize, attempted invocations on the Singleton result in an exception as defined by Section 3.4.3 and Section 3.4.4. ------------------------------------------------------ I tested to raise a system exception (throw new RuntimeException()) in the @PostConstruct method. -- Logs show the error ------------------------------- ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=startup-singleton-initiator:topLevelUnit=ts.ear,unit=testSingletonEjb.jar,bean=counter aliases=[startup-singleton-initiator:bean=counter,topLevelUnit=ts.ear,unit=testSingletonEjb.jar] state=Create: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not invoke PostConstruct on the newly created bean instance at org.jboss.ejb3.singleton.impl.container.SingletonEJBInstanceManagerImpl.create(SingletonEJBInstanceManagerImpl.java:137) [:1.0.0-alpha-28] ...
