Hi Marina,
Nothing fancy along those lines is going on here. This @ApplicationScoped bean is simply responsible for providing some preferences which it initializes in its @PostConstruct. It is injected all over the place, including in this @Startup @Singleton. As a test I disable the EJB and observed the @PostConstruct method on the CDI bean is called when it is being injected into a ServletContextListener so I don't think that is the case. It feels like it is I think this is EJB/CDI lifecycle related.
