title: @PostConstruct method isn't being called during application server initalitization
body: <p>I've just been assigned to fix a Java EE application and I'm somewhat new to this. I have the following bean:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Named
  @ApplicationScoped
  public class Configuration implements Serializable {
  
     public Configuration() {
     }
  
     @PostConstruct
     public void loadParams() {
  
         // inserted break point in next line
         SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
         URL resourceUrl = ResourceLocator.getResource(ARCHIVO_CONFIGURACION);
         // More code...
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand this bean will be initialized when the container is started (in this case jboss 7) and the <em>loadParams</em> method will be called once all dependences are injected. But after debugging I realized that neither the contructor nor the method are being called. What am I missing? Is there another configuration file for this task that I'm not taking into consideration? Thank you.</p>
