    Start / stop of application

      Hi,

      Hoping to post under the correct forum. I have two questions regarding applications deployed as ear-files.

      1) How can I programatically stop (shutdown) an application?
      2) How can I "overload" the startup behaviour of my application.

      What I'm trying to do, is to during application startup, I will poll a license server. If license is OK, continue. Otherwise shut down the application.

      I have not been able to find this in the documentation.

      Thanks,
      Mattias

          Hi Mattias,

          You could try invoking operations of the MainDeployer MBean (jboss.system:service=MainDeployer) using JMX. This Mbean exposes operations to list all the applications deployed as well as to start/stop applications.

            Hi Clive,

            Thanks! I guess I can list all deployed applications with the listDeployed() method. However I cannot find any method to stop an application. There is the undeploy(DeploymentInfo) method, but I cannot find any method to just stop a specific application...

            BR,

              Could you clear one thing for me. By stop application do you mean shutdown the application? Because undeploying it would actually shut it down ... right?

                Yes, with stop I mean shutting down the application, without undeploying it.

                  Just a suggestion ... how about making an MBean to manage you application (start/stop). The polling of the licence servers could be moved to this MBean rather than in the application.

                    Yes, that is what I'm thinking about. But I do not know how to make the stop of the application from the MBean...

                    Lets say I have an MBean that schedules a task to poll the license server every hour, for example. When it discoveres that the license have expired, how can it stop (shutdown) the application?
