How can I work out my config from within a servlet.

[crazycradd]

I want a servlet to know the details of the deployment config in init.

I looked at using DMR but this seems to need and end point defined like this ModelControllerClient client = ModelControllerClient.Factory.create("localhost", 8037); before you can use it.

When I create an initialcontext with no params it speaks to my local runtime I pass the context params when I wish to communicate via a client can the DMR connection be done the same ?

What kind of deployment config are you interested in exactly?

[crazycradd]

I Need the socket binding info so I can work out my URL

my main application will be installed.In a different instance and I may have many secondary apps deployed to act as data grid servers each data grid server will have to initial with different data

[ctomc]

so server port where application is bound to.

What is wrong with simply using request.getServerPort() ?

About mgmt, you wont be able to access internal management during deploy phase. But you can access if afterwards.

You can do that with ModelControllerClient but that is not really the best way.

I would recommend you to do ServiceActivator to access internals.

See http://management-platform.blogspot.com/2012/07/co-located-management-client-for.html for more info.

If you want somewhat more fine grained control / access on what is going on, i would recommend you to write your on extension/subsystem.

Thanks for the link the ServiceActivator worked a treat

If I try to call my new mothod on servlet init it fails as if the dmr cannot get the answer yet because the container is not ready. If I add a button to a form and invoke the mothod on click all is well. Any idea how I can work around this ?
