Leonardo,

I just confirmed the following:

1. @PostConstruct, pf_RollingStockController.init() method is called
2. the h:selectOneMenu (below) is responsible, because the server log
(below) will show that the setter has null as an argument value

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{pf_rollingStockController.filterYear}">
    <f:selectItem itemValue="0"

itemLabel="#{pf_rollingStockController.selectOneFilterYear}" />
    <f:selectItems value="#{pf_rollingStockController.allYears}"/>
    <p:ajax partialSubmit="true"
listener="#{pf_rollingStockController.prepareList()}"
            update=":pageContentPanel"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>


Please note that the test steps do not include/involve clicking the
selectOneMenu, so the filterYear = 0 was not (or should not have been) set
to NULL by PrimeFaces' p:ajax component. So, is MyFaces or TomEE/openejb
responsible for h:selectOneMenu setting the value to NULL?

server log below:
