How to Register a ProgressListener for receiving Deployment Notifications

[pkrasko]

How can I effectively determine when an applications deployment has completed?

I would like to know when its state is complete (javax.enterprise.deploy.shared.StateType).

I have searched around but wasn't able to find much documentation on this.

thanks

I forgot to mention that this is on JBoss 4.2.3.GA

These might help:

jaikiran thanks for your response, however I have already looked into those documents.

Actually, I spent some time researching this before I posted my question on this forum.

I don't think this can help me because the notifications seem to only send a start and stop event.  I need to obtain a "completed" event to know that the deployment is complete.

This is what promted me to use a ProgressListener...

Thoughts anybody?  This must have been done before

The start event is actually an event to indicate that the deployment is completed. An example from that wiki:

      org.jboss.deployment.SubDeployer.start - javax.management.Notification  notification emitted by jboss.web:service=WebServer to indicate a WAR  has been deployed. The short-name property contains the WAR filename.

Hmm, I'll have to try this.

However, in my mind "has been deployed" doesn't mean "deployement is complete".

We'll see, thank you.
