MBean Depends on Server Start

[ab_99]

Is it possible for a MBean to depend on server start instead of a particular jar or service?

--Anurag

How exactly do you mean this?

If the server is not started, the mbean doesn't run anyway.

Can I delay the MBean start method till the server startup has been completed?

--Anurag

The Bootstrap sub-project / layer pushes notification when the server is startting / fully started.

See if you can somehow use this for your task.

* http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/bootstrap/trunk/

e.g.

Create a new service / MBean / POJO, which is able to install new MBeans + listens for these notifications.

When it receives "Server.STARTED" event, simply install your MBean.

And uninstall this MBean when initial service goes down.

What's the reason you want to do that?

The mbean in the sar calls an ejb method in the one of the othe jar files.

I havethe depends tag setup in the jboss-service.xml as -

<depends>jboss.j2ee:jndiName=com/utils/configuration/ConfigurationLocal,service=EJB</depends>

When I start the server MBean tries to do a lookup to the session bean, however the lookup fails with the exception -

10:53:25,955 WARN  [ServiceController] Problem starting service

10:53:23,424 ERROR [Adapter] envLookUp

When I re-invoke the start() method via the JMX console after the server startup has been completed, the lookup succeeds.

The value you have specified in the <depends> is wrong. Let's continue this discussion in your other thread here http://community.jboss.org/thread/167673?tstart=0
