Is there any way i can get POJO loaded at server startup and bind to JNDI ?

You can use the AS5/6 jboss-beans.xml for POJOs in AS7.

I know there are some restrictions wrt JNDI binding, afaik there is just a recent thread floating around with that issue.

Do i need to extend ServiceMbean for all the MBeans by default ?

Yes.

but both ServiceMBean and ServiceMBeanSupport are not available in module libs so that the transition of jboss4/5 sars into jboss7 is not smooth

there is another problem with regard to property editors not available for certain types like BigDecimal

as a workaround you may attach enclosed classes into your project there is also a hack to register property editors

Did U specify the following key-value pair

Dependencies: org.jboss.common-core

in your.sar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF ?

sure, without this dependency the property editors cannot be registered

but I'm using jboss-deployment-structure.xml descriptor exclusively

Can I ask which version of JBoss you are using these ServiceMBeanSupport and ServiceMBean classes in, Radim ?

I am using 7.1.0.CR1b AS, and it appears that it only finds the create/destory/start/stop methods if they are implemented directly in the mbean impl class.

This have been fixed in AS 7.1.0.Final - see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2574
