How to use xdoclet to create MBean interface and to deploy M

[qwang]

I am currently trying to use Ant1.4 and xdoclet1.1.2 to generate interface and xxxxx-service.xml for MBeans to be deployed to JBoss3.0.0RC1. By following the sample of xdoclet1.1.2, I can generate the interface xxxxxMBean, xxxxx-service.xml and xxxxx.xml. However, in the xxxxx-service.xml file, "name" attribute of tag is always empty and there is no tag generated for writable attributes. It seems to me that the xxxxx-service.xml is generated by introspection and the class and name attributes for @jmx:mbean tag always ignored.

Any help?

Have you compared your MBean and ant project with
the jboss build?

It worked for me, that's why it's in xdoclet. The service template works off @jmx:managed-attribute tags. However, it doesn't currently use the default object name that is put into OBJECT_NAME in the generated interface, so the name="" is expected.

Check the template at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xdoclet/xdoclet/core/resources/xdoclet/jmx/vendor/jboss-service-template.j
to see what to expect. Suggestions on how to make this more useful are definitely appreciated;-)

Thanks for your replys. I have worked out how to use xdoclet to generate MBean interface and xxxxx-service.xml descriptor. The problem that I had was that the template file, jboss-service-template.j, coming with xdoclet is not completed and needs to be customised. I have modified the file and rebuild the JAR fiel and it works.

However, I have come across with some problems in JBoss3.0:

1. If an attibute is type of java.lang.Integer, JBoss will throw an exception say "no editor found for java.lang.Integer ......". It is ok after I changed the attribute to the type of String.

2. When using Ant to hot deploy the bean to JBoss, although there is a default constructor implemented in my MBean, the JBoss server throws an exception as follows:

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: could not create mbean; - nested throw
able is: ReflectionException: deploy.TestDeploy does not have a public no args constructor.

I haven't been able to solve the problem yet. Any idea?
