Initializing Webservice

Question

I have created a jax-ws Webservice using netbeans and jboss 4.0.5.

I'm trying to load some files right after deployment.

I have read that I have to use the Annotation @PostConstruct with the method public void init().

The issue here is that I'm trying to print some String to test if its working, but it never get to that init function.

Can somebody give some advice?

You could also create a new class like this:

@WebListener
public class Init implements ServletContextListener {

    @Override
    public final void contextInitialized(final ServletContextEvent sce) {
         System.out.println("Printed only on deployment");
    }

    @Override
    public final void contextDestroyed(final ServletContextEvent sce) {

    }
}
