Answer 1

The balusc's answer helped me a lot, i would like to say that i had that bug with mojarra version 2.1.7, i am currently using 2.1.29-01 released in january-2015 and this bug is fixed, my problem was binding a tabview to a viewscoped bean. With this version I dont have that bug and binding and postconstruct is working fine. I use Jboss 5.2 and i have to use mojarra 2.1.x so i hope this answer help other people in the same situation.
