Scope

The Microcontainer extension is the default operational implementation of the JBoss Bootstrap project.  It integrates a configured Bootstrap to be backed by JBossMicrocontainer and, as a result, brings in the MC internals as part of the dependency chain.  In many senses, jboss-bootstrap-spi-mc is a simplified facade atop MC itself, though it does allow for direct hooks into the underlying Kernel.

Modules

Sample Code

Booting an MC Server pointed at an explicit configuration

// Create a configuration
final MCServerConfig config = new BasicMCServerConfig()
  .bootstrapHome("file:/path/to/home").bootstrapName("custom.xml");
// Create the server
final MCServer server = new MCServerImpl(config);
// Start
server.start();

Using a factory to create an MC Server with default configuration

final ClassLoader cl = null; // Assume we have this
final MCServer server = MCServerFactory.createServerWithDefaultConfiguration(cl);

Programmatically Installing an MC Bean into the Server

// Create and start the server
final MCServer server = null; // Assume we get this from somewhere
server.start();

// Construct BeanMetaData
final Pojo pojo = new Pojo();
final String mcBindName = "example.MyPOJO";
final BeanMetaData beanMD = BeanMetaDataBuilder.createBuilder(mcBindName,
  pojo.getClass().getName()).getBeanMetaData();

// Install into the Server via the MC Kernel
server.getKernel().getController().install(beanMD, pojo);
