[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - Best Practice - service initializations

I have been working with JBoss for several months now, and I have a couple general questions. 1) Is there a good way to deploy a POJO into the app server and have it loaded into JNDI automatically upon deployment? 2) Looking at documentation on the Timer Service MBean, it appears that in order to schedule a job, all one has to do is make a call to the Timer MBean. However, there is no immediately obvious way to automate this call. Similarly to my first question above, is there a good way to automate Timer Service initialization at deployment? I saw something online about extending a GenericServlet object to perform custom initializations upon deployment, but this seems a bit sloppy to me. Is this an approved practice? What I'm really looking for is a good place to put code that I want to run at deployment time, every time. Is this wishful thinking, a bad idea, or something obvious that I haven't thought of yet? Any input would be greatly appreciated, if only a link to some good resources. Thanks in advance! -Christopher Suter www.grooveshark.com View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4090452#...
