Jboss Startup and Database connection

[saurvals]

Is there any setting to check the database connectivity using dedined datasource at the JBoss server startup?

Requirement is to keep on trying the database connectivity unless database server is up.

Having custom Mbean for this purpose is giving me issue related to

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ConnectionFactory not bound

in further deployment and hence it would be great if I use some provision available in Jboss.

Thanks in Advance,

In the *-service.xml file that defines your mbean you need to add a depends clause that references the connection factory mbean for the data source you are interested in.

Actually I tried the dependency earlier, but in my case the exception related to ConnectionFactory was getting thrown from some other bean. I made changes such that

ConnectionFactory depends on CustomBean for DB check

IssueBean depends on ConnectionFactory

and it is working fine now.

Thanks Peter for your guidance.
