RESTORE_VIEW call 2 times

Question

I am using Jdeveloper and I created PhaseListener as follow:
public class PageLoadListener implements PhaseListener {
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) {
System.out.println("after phase");
public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) {
System.out.println("before phase");
public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
return PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW;
In faces-config:
<phase-listener>sopia.test.view.common.PageLoadListener</phase-listener>
I created a page as follow:
<f:view>
<af:document id="d1">
<af:form binding="#{backing_pages_page1.f2}" id="f2">
This is page1
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
When I run the page then "before phase" and "after phase" printed 2 times.
I want to print only one.
Please helop me

fbg,
I see the same behaviour as you - however, the listener seems to be only called twice for the initial GET of the page; on postback, it's only called once.
Not sure why, though :(
