how to make MBean dependent from EAR application?

[cigno5e5]

Hi at all, I'm new here, and i hope you can helps me.
I simply need force a service start AFTER my .EAR application was started.

Can anybody helps me?

PS: I searched for previous thread but i've found anything! If there is some relevant topics...excuse me!

Hello,

I'm not sure this is the 'correct' way of doing it, neither do I know if it works for an EAR, however, it worked to make MBeans dependant from an EJB:

If you look into the jmx-console, your ear should appear somwhere like that, under "jboss.management.local":

J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=J2EEApplication,name=myapp.ear

You then use in your MBean declaration a depends like the following:

<depends>jboss.management.local:J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=J2EEApplication,name=myapp.ear</depends>

And it 'should' work.

Otherwise, I guess I just showed my ignorance :-)

my ignorance is greater than yours!!!! And any suggestions are welcome!!!

Ok, your suggestion is right but...
I've specified the dependency and it seem works fine...but at end of startup process jboss tells me:

17:16:38,514 ERROR [URLDeploymentScanner] MBeanException: Exception in MBean operation 'checkIncompleteDeployments()'
Cause: Incomplete Deployment listing:
Packages waiting for a deployer:

[ObjectName: it.cigno5e5.myapp.tools.jboss:service=EMailPoller
 state: CONFIGURED
 I Depend On: jboss.management.local:J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=J2EEApplication,name=myapp.ear

 Depends On Me: ]

in fact, my MBean was deployed but methods "createService()" and "startService()" was not invoked. I tried to invoke them from jmx console and does it works!! ...but i can't ask to user to start the service from jmx console!!!! ;-) :-)

had you the same problem? Now I would try to make my mbean dependant from my ejb application (contained into my ear application)

anyway...thank you thank you thank you a lot!!

thank you, louis, i'v found the final solutions.
Browsing the web i learnt that only some of deployers has relations on ServiceController service.
I first tried what's you suggested me, after, browsing the jmx console, i've finally found the correct service to link over.

at least, my dependencies declaration is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
 <classpath codebase="lib" archives="*"/>

 <mbean code="it.cigno5e5.myapp.tools.jboss.emailpoller.EMailPollerService"
 name="DefaultDomain:service=EMailPoller">

 <attribute name="Pop3Server">myserver.cigno5e5.net</attribute>
 <attribute name="Pop3AccountUserName">pop3user</attribute>
 <attribute name="Pop3AccountPassword">pop3password</attribute>
 <attribute name="CheckInterval">60000</attribute>
 <depends>jboss.j2ee:module=myapp-ejb-jar.jar,service=EjbModule</depends>
 </mbean>
</server>

does it works fine!
thanks for your support!
