Issue
EJB method invocation hangs when a bean is configured with both @Startup annotation and <init-on-startup> in ejb-jar.xml.
A thread dump indicates EJB is awaiting forever at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.StartupCountdown#await().

Resolution
This is a bug reported as This content is not included.BZ#1366526
As workaround, please do not use both @Startup annotation and <init-on-startup> in ejb-jar.xml to configure a singleton Startup beans. Please just specify either @Startup or <init-on-startup>.
Root Cause
This content is not included.BZ#1310908 introduced a feature to await singleton startup. However, it set a wrong value to the startup countdown count when both @Startup annotation and <init-on-startup> are specified. In that case, it never reaches 0 , so EJB invocations are getting stuck.
