Forcing XMBeans to update their persistant attributes?

[chrisdutz]

Hi,

is there a way to tell the MBean server to store changes in an attributes value. Since a dom4j document seems not to be serializable I am using a get/setDocumentAsText method for persistance of the xml-document. In my application I only use get/setDocument. the document attribute is not persisted. My problem now is, if the application changes anything in the document and uses the setDocument method to change the original document I have no way of telling the server that the value for the persistant attribute documentAsText has changed without a dummy-jmx-call. Can I do this directly ... simply tell the MBean server that this MBean is dirty?

What you can do is create a NotificationEvent from setDocument and make ur MBean Capture that event. Your Mbean Event capture code can then update the documentAsText Field which will be the new value!!

This sounds sort of very imperformant. If I have to do it that way. there is no need for having a Document type attribute. Then I should simply stor the text.

I managed my XMBean to store Document-objects now. To load an xml-file into this attibute I added a managed operation to the XMBean which reads a file and stores the resulting Document in the corresponding attribute of my XMBean. If I want to make the changes persistant, I have to store the object through the MBean server instead of using the local setDocument or directly storing it at this.document.

Is there a way of telling the MBean server do persist the XMBean manually?
