Is there a way to force HDScanner to scan immediatly ? (Jbos

[pfm]

Usually we don't care about the 5 sec delay for the HDScanner to run.

In order to avoid that delay, can we request an immediate HDscanner scan ?

(Decreasing the pooling period would cause a higher resource consumption, I don't want that)

In jboss 4.0.5 there was a MBean called deploymentScanner that we could use directly.

Thanks,

After looking at that wiki, i am wondering what the current 5.x version lacks. Are you talking about point#11 in that wiki? If yes, then i believe it should be possible to do something similar in AS-5 (although i'll have to look through the details).

[pfm]

That's exactly the point 11.

The problem is that I didn't find anything similar to that in jboss AS 5.0.1

Hmm, with AS-5 and ProfileService APIs, i think it's the responsibility of the ProfileServiceDeployer (MC bean) to expose this API. Programatically, i think it's possible, but to be able to do it from JMX console, this MC bean needs to be exposed as a MBean which i don't see being done currently.


P.S: By the way, 5.1.0 is the latest stable version and i believe there have been some changes around ProfileService in this version. So you might want to upgrade to this new version (although it probably won't solve your issue).

You can use this:
* http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/system/src/main/java/org/jboss/system/tools/DeploymentScannerMBean.java

JBoss Tools uses it.
For more details have a look at the code, it should be simple enough.

Isn't that the one which bypasses ProfileService (and hence is deprecated)? I agree, that it's going to work in the current released version of AS.

No.
This one *does* use the PS.

Deprecated?

I do think we need something simpler, e.g. REST interface,
but this one still looks legit + has backing tests.

I think you're referring to the old DSMBean.
Same simple class name, diff impl. :-)

[pfm]

I saw an implementation, using the profileService here, for 5.x
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/ProfileServiceDeploymentManagerin5x

(for 5.0.1 is a bit different, the methods contain DeploymentPhase as well, as described there)

But still, I didn't manage to get it running.

And as in 4.0.5 there was an MBean that could be called to that action, I was wondering if there's something like that in 5.0.1.


Currently my project is attached to 5.0.1. (That's why I insist in the version), but if 5.1 has a solution to this problem, we might change that. For now, I haven't seen a way of doing that, in either version.

Ah, yes! :)
