Invoking service on startup

[ejb3workshop]

In JBoss 4/5 our application required some special initialisation which we implemeted via a startup service using jboss-service.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<server>

  <mbean code="com.abc.jboss.StartupService" name="startup.abc.com:service=Startup">

    <depends>jboss.j2ee:ear=ABCEJB.ear,jar=ABC.jar,name=AdministratorBean,service=EJB3</depends>

  </mbean>

  <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler" name="scheduler.abc.com:service=Scheduler">

    <depends>jboss.j2ee:ear=ABCEJB.ear,jar=ABC.jar,name=AdministratorBean,service=EJB3</depends>

    <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute>

    <attribute name="SchedulableClass">com.abc.jboss.ScheduledService</attribute>

    <attribute name="InitialStartDate">NOW</attribute>

    <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">30000</attribute>

    <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>

  </mbean>

  <mbean code="com.ABC.backend.jmx.NotificationCenter"

           name="NotificationCenter:name=notificationCenter">

    <depends>jboss.j2ee:ear=ABCEJB.ear,jar=ABC.jar,name=AdministratorBean,service=EJB3</depends>

  </mbean>

</server>

However for JBoss 7 I haven't been able to find a similar solution. Any pointers on how best to implement this in JBoss 7.2 ? Note that some services require specific ejbs to be available so it should only start this service once the application is deployed.

Use EE6 standard features for that.

create @Singleton @Startup ejb bean

and process your stuff in method annotated with @PostConstruct
