How to instantiate an @Named annotated bean on application startup?

[Alan Smith]

Hi,

I have a bunch of data in a database that I would like to use on the homepage of my application. I am using @Named annotated beans. I know that the @ManagedBean annotation has an eager attribute, is there anything similar when using the @Named annotation?

Thanks,
Alan
