<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I'm evaluating migration from Weblogic to JBoss.  The application (ppackaged in an ear file with 7 war files), depends on a startup class to initialize the spring container and populate our cache.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>When I look for ways to create a startup class, the documentation is a bit on the lean side.  From the forums, I gather I need to make a sar file (which is hard to find docs on) and in the sar i need a class extends the  interfaces  <strong>ServiceBean</strong>.  Well, that class dones not seem to exist in the new version of JBOSS, hence, I can not load my app (my spring context is not initialized, and my cache is not initialized).  Without spring and cache, I can not proceed.    </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Question:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>1 - Is ther any other way to create a LifeCycle type class that listens for the startup/shutdown</p><p>2 - is there some simple docs on creating a SAR  (I think this must be a JBoss thing, it does not exist in WebLogic)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks </p></div>
