Is there a way that I can force a method to be invoked when a particular page is loaded and with no user interaction. The @Create and @Factory annotations only work on the initial creation of the seam component. I can't find any annotations that force this. My hunch is that I need to insert an interceptor into the lifecycle, but I was hoping to avoid this. Any suggestions? Thanks.
