Hi,

I have a very basic problem. I have an ejb with *@PostConstruct annotated method*. When I deploy this ejb packaged as jar to jboss, everything works fine. 
But when I package my ejb to ear archive, the *@Postconstruct method is never invoked.*
This means there must be something wrong with my ear packaging, but I have no idea what is the problem.

Here follows my ejb:

@Stateless
public class TestBeanImpl implements TestBean{

    public TestBeanImpl() {
        System.out.println("Test bean was instantiated");
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void afterConstruction() {
        System.out.println("Test bean after construction");
    }

    @Override
    public void performTest() {
        System.out.println("Test was performed");
    }

}

When I invoke performTest() method in jar packaging, the output is:
Test bean was instantiated
Test was performed

*But when I invoke performTest() in ear packaging, the output is:*
Test bean was instantiated
Test bean after construction
Test was performed

Here follows my ear package structure:
/
-- lib
--META-INF
     /--application.xml
--postconstruct-test-ejb.jar

Here is my content of application.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application>
  <display-name>postconstruct-test-ear</display-name>
  <module>
    <ejb>postconstruct-test-ejb.jar</ejb>
  </module>
</application>

*My jboss version: Jboss 6.0.0.Final*

I really don't know what is wrong here, please help
