@PostConstruct dont work

[javier pavon]

The construct for my backing bean it is called twice, so i need a method what will be call only once for init the bean parameters (database, webservices...), do this twice is very slow.

On internet i have said the annotation @postconstruct, but it is not working for me.

In my bean i have the constructor and the init method

 


         public BeanConstructor(){}

	@PostConstruct
	public void init(){
                 //init the parameters ....ñ
	}


   

I am using jsf 1.2, this is my header faces-config

 

<faces-config
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd" 
    version="1.2">

   

and in the web.xml

    

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5">

I dont know why in the init method annotated with @postConstruct it is not ever call.

any ideas?

Just curious if you discovered the reason behind it being called twice?

It looks like something to do with what librarys you are running with.

I actually have two different scenarios with the same project, netbeans runs my project fine with beans only being created once, whereas intellij is having the problem you mention and calling the method twice.
