ServiveMBean StartUp sequence

[duskodugousko]

Hello,
i have develop a ServiceMBean wich is using some EJB´s for initializing, and backup data for a application.

My problem is that jboss starts my Service bevore the EJB´s are deployed and so i become a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: testBeans not bound.

When i deploy my Service after jboss has been started, my service works fine.

Is there a way to say jboss when to start my Service like depend on etc...?
The service should start after deploying the EJB´s.

I am having a similar problem. Right now I just catch the null pointer exception, log it, and sleep. That seems hokey.

Is there an event or state somewhere I can test for? Or, I guess specifying the Service bean to start after the EJBs are available would be ok too.

I now have the answer. It took a while to figure this one out as the documentation is a bit thin. You need the @Depends annotation. It can be applied to your MBean class. The syntax is a bit obscure, but it should look something like:

@Depends({"jboss.j2ee:ear=yourapp.ear,jar=yourapp.jar,name=yourbean,service=EJB3"})
