@Startup not starting up in JBoss AS 7.1.1

[Derrick Williams]

Hi Guys-

I am using JBoss AS 7.1.1 and would like to have a function execute when my EAR file starts up, to do some housekeeping and initialization and so on. From what I've been reading, this code should work:

package com.innitech.insitu;

import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Startup;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.PostConstruct;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;


@Startup
@Singleton
@Name("orders")
public class OrdersEngine {
	
	@Logger
    private Log log;

	
	@PostConstruct 
	void atStartup() {
	
		System.out.println("Starting up!");
		
	}
	
	@PreDestroy
	 void atShutdown() {
		 System.out.println("Shutting down!");
	 }
	

}

I am expecting the message "Starting Up!" to display on the console, but this doesn't happen.

I do see this line in the console:

02:15:36,101 INFO [org.jboss.seam.Component] (MSC service thread 1-1) Component: orders, scope: APPLICATION, type: SINGLETON_SESSION_BEAN, class: com.innitech.insitu.OrdersEngine, JNDI: java:app/insitu-ejb/OrdersEngine


I don't know if there's any setting or library I need to configure. I am using JBoss Developer Studio Version: 6.0.0.GA.

Any hints appreciated!

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Startup;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.PostConstruct;

Those are wrong imports. You need the javax.ejb.Startup and javax.annotation.PostConstruct.

Hi Jaikrain-

Thanks for the help! I guess that'll teach me to just pick a random import header from the pick list in Eclipse when typing in examples.

Just for completion, here is the working code:

package com.initeach.insitu;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import javax.ejb.Startup;
 

 
@Singleton
@Startup
public class OrdersEngine{
int total;
 
	@PostConstruct
	private void startup() {
		System.out.println("DERRICK: Start initiation!");
	}
 
	@PreDestroy  
	void atShutdown() {  
	         System.out.println("DERRICK: Stopping!");  
	}  
}
