@Startup annotation and init-on-startup element in ejb-jar.xml aren't merged into metadata correctly ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBMETA-330 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBMETA-330 Project: JBoss Metadata Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: ejb Affects Versions: jboss-metadata-ejb-2.0.0-alpha-28, jboss-metadata-ejb-2.0.0-alpha-29 Environment: JBoss AS 6.0.0.Final Reporter: jaikiran pai Assignee: jaikiran pai Fix For: jboss-metadata-ejb-2.0.0-alpha-30 Consider the following bean: {code} @Singleton @Startup public class StartupBean { ... } {code} and the corresponding ejb-jar.xml: {code:xml} ... <session> <ejb-name>StartupBean</ejb-name> <session-type>Singleton</session-type> <ejb-local-ref> ... </ejb-local-ref> </session> {code} Notice that the ejb-jar.xml is used to configure some other aspects of the EJB, but it *doesn't* set/override the init-on-startup attribute of the bean. Effectively, the StartupBean should still be considered as a init-on-startup bean. However, this isn't the case currently. During merging of this annotation and xml metadata, the merged metadata turns up the StartupBean as a normal non init-on-startup bean. See the referenced forum thread for the complete details.
