Hi all,

I need to deploy an MBean into jboss without using the @Service and @Depends annotations.

Reading the jboss doc (here  http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/guides/installguide/r1/en/html/config-files.html and here http://docs.jboss.org/jbossmessaging/docs/guide-1.0.1.SP5/html/configuration.html) I understood that I can create a *-service.xml file defining my mbean objects and put this file under the META-INF folder.

My -service.xml is the following :

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

<!DOCTYPE mbean PUBLIC

        "-//JBoss//DTD MBean Service 5.0//EN"

        "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-service_5_0.dtd">

<!-- ===================================================================== -->

<!--  JBoss Server Configuration for Phase Handler                         -->

<!-- ===================================================================== -->

<server>

   <mbean code="com.paddypower.phase.input.bean.service.InputServiceBean"

          name="phase:service=InputServiceBean"

          xmbean-dd="resource:META-INF/input-service-xmbean.xml"> 

          <depends-list>

              <depends-list-element>HornetQServer</depends-list-element>

          </depends-list>

   </mbean>

</server>

and this is my MBean:

@Local(InputServiceBeanLocal.class)

@Remote(InputServiceBeanRemote.class)

public class InputServiceBean extends NotificationBroadcasterSupport implements InputServiceBeanLocal, InputServiceBeanRemote,        InputServiceBeanManagement {

...

Once the ear containing the above is deployed, no service has been started.

I can see in the jmx-console the bean, but it has not been started.

Any clue on what I'm missing?

Thanks

Marco
