[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/WBRI-203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Shane Bryzak updated WBRI-203: ------------------------------ Description: In section 4.2 the spec states: "Suppose a class X is extended directly or indirectly by the bean class of a simple or session bean Y. <snip> • If X declares an initializer method, @PostConstruct method or @PreDestroy method x() then Y inherits x() if and only if neither Y nor any intermediate class that is a subclass of X and a superclass of Y overrides the method x().." The @PostConstruct method does not seem be be invoked on session beans that extend a superclass with a @PostConstruct method declared. See TCK test org.jboss.jsr299.tck.tests.implementation.enterprise.lifecycle.EnterpriseBeanLifecycleTest.testIndirectSubClassInheritsPostConstructOnSuperclass() was: In section 4.2 the spec states: "Suppose a class X is the bean class of a simple or session bean Y declared using XML. <snip> • If X declares an initializer method, @PostConstruct method or @PreDestroy method x() then Y inherits x(), unless Y explicitly declares x() using XML."
