Deploy a block

[sysuser1]

Hi !

I have deployed my own block but when I restart JBoss I have to restart it in the module block.
Could you tell me how to do to display my block by default?

Thanks !!

you need to place the block-service.xml file in the nukes.last directory so it is deployed after the module. or you have to package the block-service.xml file inside the sar so it deploys w/ the classes.

if you hot deploy the module again, you're going to have to touch the -service.xml file again to get it to reload.

altho - now that i think about it, you could probably hook into the block's mbean and force a restart when the module is redeployed.

Ok, thank you !
But how to force the mbean to restart when I redeployed my block?

i'm not following the question.

you have a "module" that also has a "block" associated w/ it, correct?

to redeploy the block and the block's code hasn't changed, then you just need to "touch" the -service.xml.

if you change the block's code, then you have to redeploy the module, and then "touch" the -service.xml for the block unless it is packaged inside the ear

as i said before, it may be possible to do it programatically inside the mbean for the module. i'd have to give this some more thought.

No, it's just a block with html link inside like :

public void render(Page page) {
 page.print("<a href=index.html?module=myModule>My module</a><br/>");
}

and I want that, when I restart jboss, it appears in my page without I have to restart it...
I am sorry if I am not clear. :-/
