Microcontainer integration with ServiceController in 4.0.x

julien1 Jan 1, 2006 11:11 AM

In the portal project we are interested in using the microcontainer to manage the various portal services. The main challenge (among others) is the integration between the microcontainer Kernel and the ServiceController because the current version of the portal is released for JBoss 4.0.x.

The main focus is about having a dependency (and possibly injection) of portal services on MBean services.

We have done a proof of concept where an MBean service has a peer in the microcontainer domain. Dependency is resolved using :

1/ Create service metadata using MANUAL control mode
2/ JMX notifications to control the state of the peer microcontainer service

Is this the advocated way to do that or is there a better way to do it ?

There is no integration between the ServiceController and the
MC's Dependency Controller yet.

Your solution might work. But it would better done as a first class dependency.

See the thread in the Developer forums about "Decorators"

thanks,

actually we will wait until the integration is properly done if there are plans to do it in 4.0, or until JBoss Portal targets JBoss AS 5.0.
