http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-154 I should be ready to commit something later today - question is to which branch? What we have is a new LifecycleCallbackMetaData which gets populated by the DescribeAction + AOPDependencyBuilder. It does not really use AOP much for anything other than the matching of the classes pointcuts. These lifecycle callbacks are then added to the BeanMetaData. I've modified KernelControllerContextAction install/uninstall to look for lifecycle callback metadata and if this exists to invoke the callbacks. It is configured as follows | <aop:lifecycle-configure xmlns:aop="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0" | name="DependencyAdvice" | class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMXLifecycleCallback" | classes=&quot;(a)org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX&quot;&gt; | <property name="mbeanServer"><inject bean="MBeanServer"/></property> | </aop:lifecycle-configure> | Which translates to | <bean name="DependencyAdvice" class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMXLifecycleCallback"> | <property name="mbeanServer"><inject bean="MBeanServer"/></property> | </bean> | | <bean name="DependencyAdvice$Binding" class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.beans.LifecycleBinding"> | <property name="callbackBean">DependencyAdvice</property> | <property name="manager"><inject bean="AspectManager"/></property> | <property name=&quot;classes&quot;&gt;(a)org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX&lt;/property&gt; | <property name="state">Configured</property> | </bean> | | The callbacks are no longer "interceptors", so there is no chain, and by default it will look for methods called install and uninstall. Callback methods must take the KernelControllerContext as a parameter: | public class JMXLifecycleCallback | { | private MBeanServer server; | | public void setMbeanServer(MBeanServer server) | { | this.server = server; | } | | public void install(KernelControllerContext context) throws Exception | { | JMX jmx = readJmxAnnotation(context); | ObjectName objectName = createObjectName(context, jmx); | | //register in jmx | } | | public void uninstall(KernelControllerContext context) throws Exception | { | JMX jmx = readJmxAnnotation(context); | ObjectName objectName = createObjectName(context, jmx); | | //unregister in jmx | } | | private JMX readJmxAnnotation(KernelControllerContext context) throws Exception | { | if (context.getMetaData() != null) | { | return context.getMetaData().getAnnotation(JMX.class); | } | return null; | } | | private ObjectName createObjectName(KernelControllerContext context, JMX jmx) throws Exception | { | ... | } | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4025364#...
