MBean waiting for Webapp - Deployment

[jkressin]

Hi,

I have a simple MBean which depends on a webapplication (some classes in WEB-INF/classes respectively). I want to use the depends - tag in the descriptor so that my MBean is deployed *after* the webapp has been deployed.
I know how do this if an MBean depends on an EJB (found it here http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t= I do not know which value to put for the depends - tag if I want to wait for a webapp.
I found three entries under jboss.web corresponding to my webapplication, but none of these values seem to work if I put it in the depends - tag, e.g.

jboss.web:context=/jdotest-web,name=invoker,vhost=localhost

(jdotest-web being the name of my app).

The deployer gives me this error:
[java] Cause: Incomplete Deployment listing:
[java] Packages waiting for a deployer:
[java]
[java] Incompletely deployed packages:
[java]
[java] MBeans waiting for classes:

[java] MBeans waiting for other MBeans:
[java] [ObjectName: configuration:name=ConfigTest

[java] I Depend On:
[java] Depends On Me: , ObjectName: configuration:name=ConfigTest
[java] state: NOTYETINSTALLED
[java] I Depend On:
[java] Depends On Me: , ObjectName: configuration:name=ConfigTest
[java] state: NOTYETINSTALLED
[java] I Depend On:
[java] Depends On Me: , ObjectName: configuration:name=ConfigTest
[java] state: CONFIGURED
[java] I Depend On: jboss.web:context=/jdotest-web,name=invoker,vhost=localhost
(ConfigTest is the name of my MBean)

How can I model the behaviour described above, an MBean depending / waiting on a particular webapp?

Thanks very much for any hints,

Jochen

You're using jboss.web domain, check the jboss.j2ee domain instead and try to locate your WAR deployment there.

Should have said jboss.management.local domain, something similar to
J2EEApplication=null,J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=WebModule,name=<WAR NAME HERE>

[juha]

Full domain name of course:
jboss.management.local:J2EEApplication=null,J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=WebModule,name=<WAR NAME HERE>

Hi,

ok, its working for me now. Thank your very much for the precise answer!

I have been struggling with this as well. I have an ear file containing several ejbs and 3 wars. I've created a sar with two scheduling tasks and created the dependency on a war exactly as described above. If I exclude the tag the mbean starts but the task fails because the web app it needs to talk to has not yet been deployed. If I include the tag the scheduler mbean is created but never starts even after the web app is deployed (I can start it manually from the jmx-console). Am I missing something else?

jboss.management.local:J2EEApplication=neorsd.ear,J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=WebModule,name=cm.war

I'm seeing this exact issue with JBoss 3.2.7 (I realize the original thread is an old one)... is there a different way of doing this, or is this a known issue when trying to put a dependancy on a war that lives inside an ear?

As described in http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=65077

I found out, that the web-module mbeans is registered, but its state never changes to started, although the web-module can be accessed by the web browser.
I assume that dependencies on services need the state "startet" to satisfy the dependency entry of demanding mbean.

Is it possible to create dependencies that base on the state "registered" insteand of "started"

[dimitris]

Dependencies currently work for CREATED and STARTED states.

If you think this is a bug, and you have a testcase or usage scenario that proves this, post a bug report in JIRA please.

Ok Bug is reported at http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1897

[thl-mot]

Ok it no bug. See http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=BarrierController how to create dependencies on services that do not conform to the JBoss lifecycle model.
