You might also try : | @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) | @Name("dashboard") | public class Dashboard implements Serializable { | ... | @Create | public void init() { | log.info("In init"); | ... | Which seems more likely what you want to do (otherwise you will call init every time that page is accessed). best, Dustin View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4081829#...
