Let's take the class hierarchy below:

@Singleton
public class Y extends X {
public Y()

{ super(); }
}

public abstract class X {
public X() { super(); }

@PostConstruct
public void init() throws Exception

{ ...(logging)... }

}

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

{ WeldContainer weld = new Weld().initialize(); weld.instance().select(Y.class).get(); }

}

When I execute this kind of code using org.jboss.weld.se.weld-se:2.0.0.Alpha3 I get all I was expecting to get (@PostConstruct method in X is executed).
However, when I execute the same code using org.jboss.weld.se.weld-se:2.0.0.Beta1 or above, the @PostConstruct method in X is never executed (nothing logged).
