The endpoint is created at deployment time, before the serving servlet is actually created. Jim, is there any explicit reference in specs about ordering of endpoint @PostConstruct invocation and the servlet lifecycle? As far as I remember, jsr109 just say that the @PostConstruct needs to be called after the endpoint is created and before any request is served. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/550654#550654] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
