Writing and registering a custom mbean

[ckaushalya]

Hi,

I have a standard mbean (written without using any JBoss specific interfaces/classes) and I want to make it available in the standard jboss web console. I went through the JBoss 4.0 official guide and the wiki pages but the informations available are a bit confusing for me.

Is it a must to extend from org.jboss.system.ServiceMBeanSupport to bring a custom mbean to the jmx web console? If not how can make it appear in the web console? Is there any xml descriptor to register my custom mbean?

Thanks in advance!

You don't have to extend any JBoss classes to deploy your MBean. Simply create a jboss-service.xml and (optionally) put it in a .sar file. Google turned up this, which might be a good example to follow and meets your requirements:

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the tip. I have managed to create a custom mbean service using SAR as you have mentioned.

Thanks!
