Startup bean not called

Question

I created a Java Web Application Project in NetBeans, and created a startup bean in it:

package malibu.util;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax         


        

Answer 1

The Startup annotation is for usage with Singleton beans, not with stateless beans. See the javadoc.

Also, @LocalBean is not needed in this case. This declares that you want an additional no-interface view, but this is only needed if the bean implements a remote or local business interface. If you omit it you get a no-interface view by default.
