Making Scheduler MBean Depend on EAR

[chanomie]

I have an EAR application I'm deploying in jBoss. I also have a Scheduler MBean I'm deploying that makes a class against a Scheduable class inside a JAR inside the EAR.

It works great when I deploy the EAR and then deploy the Scheduler MBean.

But when I start up jBoss it deploys the Scheduler MBean first and I get an error because it can't find the class it's trying to execute.

I know that I can add a tag inside of my Scheduler MBean, but I cannot figure out how to reference the J2EE application that must be deployed first.

How do I get the proper name of the EAR (or specifically the JAR inside the EAR) that goes in the depends tag?

I have same problem. Did you solve the problem?
please help.

Something to consider is packaging the scheduler mbean *within* the ear as a sar. (Coincidentally, I just did this 5 minutes ago.)

All you have to do is:

Build a .sar file that includes the schedulable class and a jboss-service.xml file in the META-INF directory. This file can look exactly like scheduler-service.xml.

Include a jboss-app.xml file in the META-INF of the ear. The format of the file is:

<jboss-app>
whatever.sar
</jboss-app>


On my system with this setup, Jboss deploys the EJBs before the scheduler service and everything works great.

That worked for me too. But there is one disadvantage: you cannot change the scheduler config at runtime.

I created sar file. But still i have problem. I am attaching my jboss
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE server>




<!-- classpath codebase="lib" archives="*" -->

<depends optional-attribute-name="EJBDEployer">jboss.ejb:service=EJBDeployer

All right, I packaged the Scheduler service inside as a .SAR and it works great. The scheduable class is actually still in the main application JAR, but it looks like SAR format is honoring the Class-Path: in the manifest.
