You have:

@Startup(depends={"mailReader"})

This tells seam to "start" the mailReader component before starting the "mailReaderStarter" component. But its not meaningful to "start" a stateless component. If you remove the depends, your code will probably work as written.

Slow down, I have a lot of posts to answer every day. I thought I had given you enough of a hint, but apparently not.

This is an artefact of representing something that is conceptually stateless in an object-oriented language where components have state and lifecycle.

What I shoudl have typed is: Only stateful objects can be meaningfully "started".
