The PostConstruct annotation is used on a method that needs to be executed
after dependency injection is done to perform any initialization. This
method MUST be invoked before the class is put into service. This
annotation MUST be supported on all classes that support dependency
injection. The method annotated with PostConstruct MUST be invoked even
if the class does not request any resources to be injected. Only one
method can be annotated with this annotation. The method on which the
PostConstruct annotation is applied MUST fulfill all of the following
criteria:

The method MUST NOT have any parameters except in the case of
interceptors in which case it takes an InvocationContext object as
defined by the Interceptors specification.
The method defined on an interceptor class MUST HAVE one of the
following signatures:

void <METHOD>(InvocationContext)

Object <METHOD>(InvocationContext) throws Exception

Note: A PostConstruct interceptor method must not throw application
exceptions, but it may be declared to throw checked exceptions including
the java.lang.Exception if the same interceptor method interposes on
business or timeout methods in addition to lifecycle events. If a
PostConstruct interceptor method returns a value, it is ignored by
the container.

The method defined on a non-interceptor class MUST HAVE the
following signature:

void <METHOD>()

The method on which PostConstruct is applied MAY be public, protected,
package private or private.
The method MUST NOT be static except for the application client.
The method MAY be final.
If the method throws an unchecked exception the class MUST NOT be put into
service except in the case of EJBs where the EJB can handle exceptions and
even recover from them.
