MBean dependancy problem

[joegalgx]

Hi, I'm using JBoss 3.0.4. I have a custom MBean that implements the MBeanRegistration interface to start it up. The problem is that it depends on a Queue to be registered before it can run. I've tried the following in my service.xml
"<mbean ...
jboss.mq.destination:service=Queue,name=myQueue


but it still tries to run before the Queue is registered. Any help is apprecieated.

Well after some due diligence on the forums, It seems that the &lt;depends&gt; tag is only relevant if you are implementing the JBossService interface.

Then I would put my startup code in the start() method rather than the postRegister method. In fact using the JMXRegistration stuff would be unecessary.

It seems strange that a deployment dependency is linked to an interface, MBean should be enough. After all isn't the agent capable of ordering deployment without requiring additional interfaces?

Using ServiceMBeanSupport has solved my problem of dependancies. I do have one question though; Is there a way to reference a single element that stands for ALL Queues?

thanks,

The Service interface is only a helper,
it is only a requirement to specify create/start/etc
in your management interface.

on all queues is not possible at the moment

The semantics are unclear.
e.g. If a new queue is deployed do we restart your
service?
