[jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] - Startup Class in JBoss 7

Ed Ross [http://community.jboss.org/people/erg144] created the discussion "Startup Class in JBoss 7" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/632582#632582 -------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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  *ServiceBean*.  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.    Question: 1 - Is ther any other way to create a LifeCycle type class that listens for the startup/shutdown 2 - is there some simple docs on creating a SAR  (I think this must be a JBoss thing, it does not exist in WebLogic) Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/632582#632582] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
