T5.0.7-SNAPSHOT: AppModule constructor not called??

[Alexander Lamb <al...@rodanotech.ch>]

Hello,

I have an AppModule with several services defined.
I need to initialize a few things when the application starts. I  
thought I would put them in the constructor of AppModule.

Well, depending on what is in the constructor, sometimes it is called,  
sometimes not.

Something as simple as:

   public AppModule() {
	System.out.println("---- AppModule init...");
	}

Prints out the trace correctly.

But if I add:

   public AppModule() {
	System.out.println("---- AppModule init...");
	StudiesFoundationInitializer initializer = new  
StudiesFoundationInitializer();
	}

It does not get get called.

Is this the correct way of doing things? Why does it silently not call  
AppModule?

Thanks

Alex

Module classes are not instantiated until a non-static method of the
module must be invoked.  Could this be the source of your issue?
Because Tapestry IoC services are lazily instantiated, you may be able
to navigate a section of your application before it becomes necessary
to instantiate the module class.
