Hi,

not realy a custom initializer, but according to the spec the managed
properties are set in the order they appear in the config. so you can
add a dummy property as the last one which does the initialization.

e.g.:

<managed-bean>
     ...
     <managed-property>
      <property-name>init</property-name>
      <value>true</value>
    </managed-property>
</managed-bean>

public void setInit(String dummy) {
  // call init method
  init();
}

this is what we do if needed.

Regards,
  Volker
