I have a @ViewScoped bean that has a method with an @PreDestroy annotation that should make sure some remote connections are closed. However, the method is not called when the user navigates away.

Is there anything one can do wrong? Do I have to register anything anywhere in order to make it work?

It's a simple public method (void) that throws no exception.

I'm using JSF 2 (MyFaces) with Tomcat 7.0.12. Could it be a problem with Tomcat?

UPDATE

The @PostConstruct annotation works fine.
