Does JBoss allow PERSISTENT changes to MBean Attributes?

[stevieuk]

Hi

On my first JBoss project after many years using WebLogic

I changed the jboss.jca:name=DefaultDS,service=ManagedConnectionPool mBean object via the JMX console. When I bounced JBoss I noticed that I had lost my update!

Is it possible to persist such changes via JMX using JBoss (which is the case with WebLogic) or do you need to also change the configuration file as well to persist such changes?

You have to change the configuration file. Changes made via JMX are not persisted.

There is some support for persisting attribute changes, put the mbean needs to be xmbeanized (see the XMBean section in the FAQ http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=FAQJBossJMX)

I guess with datasources that would be a little hard to do, since the mbean descriptor is generated by the -ds.xml.

On a similar note. If you deploy an application via JMX it also disappears after a restart:

We started of with this in our ant build:






Had to move to a copy and sleep to preserve deployment after bounce
