[jboss-user] [EJB3] - @PostConstruct not inoked in ear packaging

Tomas Bartalos [http://community.jboss.org/people/barti] created the discussion "@PostConstruct not inoked in ear packaging" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/612722#612722 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I have a very basic problem. I have an ejb with *@PostConstruct annotated method*. When I deploy this ejb packaged as jar to jboss, everything works fine. But when I package my ejb to ear archive, the *@Postconstruct method is never invoked.* This means there must be something wrong with my ear packaging, but I have no idea what is the problem. Here follows my ejb: @Stateless public class TestBeanImpl implements TestBean{     public TestBeanImpl() {         System.out.println("Test bean was instantiated");     }     @PostConstruct     public void afterConstruction() {         System.out.println("Test bean after construction");     }     @Override     public void performTest() {         System.out.println("Test was performed");     } } When I invoke performTest() method in jar packaging, the output is: Test bean was instantiated Test was performed *But when I invoke performTest() in ear packaging, the output is:* Test bean was instantiated Test bean after construction Test was performed Here follows my ear package structure: / -- lib --META-INF      /--application.xml --postconstruct-test-ejb.jar Here is my content of application.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <application>   <display-name>postconstruct-test-ear</display-name>   <module>     <ejb>postconstruct-test-ejb.jar</ejb>   </module> </application> *My jboss version: Jboss 6.0.0.Final* I really don't know what is wrong here, please help -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/612722#612722] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
