Custom MBean for connector lifecycle

[glenc]

How to I install and activate a custom MBean to provide
lifecycle support for a connector?

MyCustomMBean extends ServiceMBeanSupport and currently
simply does printlns in the startService/stopService methods to verify they
are executing. I have added to my-service.xml, which defines my custom JCA connector, the lines



No errors are reported when JBoss starts up, but MyCustomMBean doesn't show up in the Agent View, and the
output of the printlns never shows up. If I don't include
MyCustomMBean.class in the deployment rar I also get no
error messages, which seems to indicate that my
<mbean code= entry in my-service.xml isn't having any
effect.

What magic am I missing?

Where did you put my-service.xml?
Can you show it?

You should have something like

class MyCustomMBean
extends org.jboss.system.ServiceMBeanSupport
implements MyCustomMBeanMBean

where

interface MyCustomMBeanMBean
extends org.jboss.system.Service

Your naming convention is a bit ugly :-)

I've attached the MBean interface and class and the
service descriptor.

First,

A standard mbean defined in class Xxxxx must
implement an interface called XxxxxMBean

So in your case the interface name should be
RWServiceMBeanImplMbean

Second,

did you deploy the code
(the jar file containing the classes)?

I guess it is waiting for the class to be deployed?
From 3.0.1, JBoss will list on the console
services waiting for missing classes at the end of each
deployment phase.

There are some listWaiting operations on
the jboss.server:service=MainDeployer MBean
if you look at
http://127.0.0.1:8082
or
http://127.0.0.1:8080/jmx-console
