you would have implement PagePhaseListener and extend this from your backing bean class..
package view.controller;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.context.PageLifecycleContext;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.Lifecycle;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.PagePhaseEvent;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.PagePhaseListener;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainer;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBinding;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
public class CustomPagePhaseListener implements PagePhaseListener  {
     * Before the ADF page lifecycle's prepareModel phase, invoke a
     * custom onPageLoad() method. Subclasses override the onPageLoad()
     * to do something interesting during the
     * @param event
    public void beforePhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
      PageLifecycleContext ctx = (PageLifecycleContext)event.getLifecycleContext();
      if (event.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_MODEL_ID) {
        bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
        onPageLoad();
        bc = null;
     * After the ADF page lifecycle's prepareRender phase, invoke a
     * custom onPagePreRender() method. Subclasses override the onPagePreRender()
     * to do something interesting during the
     * @param event
    public void afterPhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
      PageLifecycleContext ctx = (PageLifecycleContext)event.getLifecycleContext();
      if (event.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_RENDER_ID) {
        bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
        onPagePreRender();
        bc = null;
    public void onPageLoad() {
      // Subclasses can override this.
    public void onPagePreRender() {
      // Subclasses can override this.
  }add your backing bean class as controllerClass in the corressponding pageDef <pageDefinition....> tag.
ControllerClass="#{backingBeanScope.backing_YourBackingBean}"
in your backing bean add pageload method like below and put your code (this method being called when the page loads...)
public void onPageLoad() {
