[JBoss-dev] JBAS-1841 - There is no spoon

In another attempt to weed MCF code from codebase :-) the JMX ServiceController has now been replaced by a Microcontainer facade. A more complete description of the status can be found here: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=88071 Please report problems as either subtasks on the JIRA issue: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1841 or create a thread in the POJO forum http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=208 FAQ: Q: Does this mean JMX is no longer supported? A: No, JMX is another context type in the generic dependency controller. There are now two types, JMX and POJO that will be able to cross inject dependencies amongst themselves. Q: Do I need to convert my MBeans to POJOs? A: No the whole of this is to support in the new POJO environment both JBoss developers and users who have written MBeans as integration into JBossAS. This provides backwards compatibility. Q: My MBean no longer works properly? A: Assuming you didn't break it :-), use one of the links above. Q: Is this documentated anywhere? A: You're kidding right? I will write up a description of how it works shortly. Those famailiar with the POJO microcontainer will understand the basics if you do the following "pseudo" replacements: POJO -> JMX Instantiate: new() -> createMBean(); Configure: setX() -> setAttribute("X"); etc. Q: Why are the ServiceCreator/Configurator deprecated? A: These were never intended to be used externally. They are implementation details of the ServiceController (as the javadoc describes "A helper class for the ServiceController") In fact, if you use the ServiceConfigurator directly, you are almost certainly leaking memory nor will it work properly unless you are very lucky. :-) -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Adrian Brock Chief Scientist JBoss a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
