Hello, I have an application facade with an application scope that I'd like to be instantiated when Seam context begins. It seems to fit the criteria for using the @Startup annotation. Yet, Seam complained "The annotation @Startup is disallowed for this location". Here is my code: @Stateless | @Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION) | public class TradeDeskManagerBean implements TradeDeskManager { | @Startup | public void init() throws ServiceLocatorException, AuthenticationException, JMSException { | ... What is the requirements for using this @Startup annotation. The manual has only one paragraph referring this annotation. One a different note, do I even need to declare this facade as SLSB? This bean contains a context into another EJB container. How would Seam's concurrent model provide safe access into this "Singleton"? Thanks for your help. -tony View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4044735#...
