I made a simple test and still can not get start to be called. So I guess I am missing something. I will post my example. | package com.acxiom.test; | | import org.jboss.system.ServiceMBeanSupport; | | public class Test extends ServiceMBeanSupport implements TestMBean { | | private String attr1; | | public String getAttr1() { | return attr1; | } | | public void setAttr1(String att1) { | this.attr1 = att1; | | } | | public void start() throws Exception { | System.out.println("INSIDE START"); | | } | | public void create() throws Exception { | System.out.println("INSIDE CREATE"); | | | } | | } configuration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | | <server> | <classpath codebase="deploy" archives="test.jar"/> | <mbean code="com.acxiom.test.Test" | name="com.acxiom.test:service=Test" > | <attribute name="Attr1">Value for Attr1</attribute> | | </mbean> | | </server> I am deploying a jar file in the deploy directory and the test-service.xml in the deploy directory.
