[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-13498) @ApplicationScoped Bean Not Eagerly Instantiated on Wildfly 16

    [ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13498?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14108579#comment-14108579 ] 

Matěj Novotný commented on WFLY-13498:
--------------------------------------

bq. We migrated our application from Wildfly 9 and Java 8 to Wildfly 16 and Java 11. Maybe something in our configuration is resulting in this issue. Would the size of the application make a difference, could it result in a timing/race condition? 

Hmm, don't think so, at least I can't think of a way to affect that.

bq. When I debugged through the issue over a month ago, I noticed that org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.BeanDeploymentModules:processBeanDeployments hadn't processed all CDI beans in the lib jars before the ServletContext was initialized. Should this be the case?

Even if that were the case, you should still be getting the event with {{Object}} payload.

> I have an @ApplicationScoped bean that I want to be instantiated on application startup (see sample code below). I've registered for the servlet context initialization event but the init method is never invoked. The FactoryLocator is contained in a jar within my war's WEB-INF/lib directory. This same code was working on Wildfly 9 but no longer works after upgrading to Wildfly 16.
> {code:java}
> import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
> import javax.enterprise.context.Initialized;
> import javax.enterprise.event.Observes;
> import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
> @ApplicationScoped
> public class FactoryLocator {
>     public FactoryLocator() {
>         System.out.println("In the constructor.........................");
>     }
>     private void init(@Observes @Initialized(ApplicationScoped.class) ServletContext sc) {
>         System.out.println("Invoking the event observer method..................");
>         }
> }
> {code}
> One workaround I discovered was to extract the contents of the jars in my war's WEB-INF/lib/ directory to my war's WEB-INF/classes directory. When I did this my FactorLocator bean was instantiated successfully. I'd prefer not to have to do this.
> After debugging through the war's deployment, I noticed that the ServletContext is initialized before all the beans in the war's lib directory are processed (org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.BeanDeploymentModules:processBeanDeployments). The war's module is not aware of all observers until all the beans are processed. However, the ServletContextEvent is fired before all the observers are known.
> Should this happen that ServletContext is created before all observers are known about? I've debugged one of the Wildfly QuickStart applications and the ServletContext isn't created until all bean deployments are processed and the code below is executed successfully. Is the order in which this happens supposed to be guaranteed?
