Error description

• Dependency injection of a JSF ManagedProperty comes
  after a @PostConstruct on Liberty Profile
  
  The JEE6 Api states 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.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty    *
  *                  Profile version 8.5.5 users of JavaServer   *
  *                  Faces (JSF) MyFaces                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Dependency injection is not performed   *
  *                      correctly for JSF ManagedProperty       *
  *                      objects.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  javax.annotation.PostConstruct-annotated methods are not always
  called before the corresponding objects are put into service.
  This causes dependency injection to not be performed correctly
  for JSF javax.faces.bean.ManagedProperty-annotated objects.
  

Problem conclusion

• Updates were made to ensure that the PostConstruct annotation is
  invoked before Dependency Injected classes are put into service.
  Set the following context parameter to true to enable the fix:
  com.ibm.ws.jsf.delayManagedBeanPostConstruct (true / false -
  default)
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
