Oh, by the way, this applies only if you are deploying the application when the server is started. If the server is not started and your are copying your application to the deploy folder then you don't have to worry about this case.

In the MainDeployer approach, you need the server to be up to call the MBean. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4141033#...
