JSF init not called on page refresh

Question

I have jsf session scoped bean. Its init method having annotation @PostConstruct is called when the page is loaded for the first time but not on every reload or refresh. I want to call some method on every page refresh. What annotation or change in xhtml file do I need to use

Answer 1

Try change your annotation tag as follows

Just change it to ViewScope. import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.faces.view.ViewScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Named
@ViewScoped
public class YourControllerClass implements Serializable {

    @PostConstruct
    public void init(){

    }
}

Answer 2

If you want to call a method on every page refresh it 's better to use ComponentSystemEvent .
