Singleton Bean fails to call session bean in @PreDestroy in EJB in JBoss EAP 6

Issue

• There exists a Singleton Bean for initialization stuff with a @PostContruct for construction of Resources.

• When initializing a resource for an EJB Bean, the @PostConstruct annotation is fine, but its not possible for a method to be called a method in the @Predestroy on JBoss Shutdown.

• We are directly performing a remote lookup on @Singleton Bean.

• When calling a method in @PreDestroy, we can getting the exception,

 JBAS014134: EJB Invocation failed on component xxxx for method public java.lang.String ws.SOMECLASS METHOD(java.lang.String): org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.EJBComponentUnavailableException: JBAS014559: Invocation cannot proceed as component is shutting down

• Why method marked as pre-destroy is not called for Singleton Session Bean?
