Start JBossCache MBeans in a Web Service Project

[tao_dl]

Dear forum,

Currently I am working on a J2EE/JBoss project. In the web service call I'd like to call an initiated JBoss Cache MBean object. From the following ref link I learned how to start the JBoss Cache MBean from a web application (WAR), but no hint about how to start JBoss Cache MBean inside a web servic application.

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBossCacheMBeans

The reason is that there is neither web.xml file nor listener-class to be available. Does anyone have an idea?
I am new in JBoss Cache, any help and response will be very appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Tao

There's no standard way to create stuff in a .war except through a servlet init(). You can use a "startup servlet" to create a cache, but for JBoss it's best to use a "sar".

Hi genman,
Thanks for your response!
I think I haven't well explained my question.
Actually my problem is that I'd like to use a simillar "context listener" in a web service project, just as the "ServletContextListener " has done in a web application (WAR). The package structure of a web service project is different from a web application project. E.g. there is no "web.xml" file in a web serivce project package.
