When I put this in my @Service bean: | @PostConstruct | public void init() { | System.out.println("####################### init()"); | } | I don't see the output in the log and I can definitely tell the bean is working. Just to be sure, that's a @javax.annotation.PostConstruct inside a @org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Service.
