| @Name( "xxx" ) | @Scope( ScopeType.APPLICATION ) | @Startup | public class MyClass | { | @Create | public void create() | { | // init stuff here | } | } | The key things are: @Startup is only valid with application and session, in your case you want application scope. Using @Create to have initialisation code run when the component creates. In this case the component is created on application startup. HTH. Mike.
