Question

Im working on a JSF2 and richFaces4 application and I want to execute a backing bean action on load of one of my xhtml view.

Thanks.

If you make a bean @ViewScoped, a method with a @PostConstruct annotation will be invoked exactly once when rendering an xhtml view that references it.

For example:

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class Foo {
  @PostConstruct
  public void onPageLoad() {
  ...
  }
}


<h:outputText value=#{foo.property}"/>
