The JBossAS integration previously called ServiceMBeanSupport.getServer() to get an MBeanServer for use internally. What is the equivalent call in MC (or AS5.0)? | MC is all about POJOs. So there is no direct link to MBeanServer or other MC internals. But you can simply get that injected - @Inject or via XML. It's up to your bean. ;-) "jhalliday" wrote : | We previously used NotificationListener to register such that a method on our bean is invoked when some other bean (jboss.system:type=Server) entered a specified state (running). Is there a way to wire such a thing in MC? It's not quite the same as requiring the other bean to be started before our bean. Indeed, such a solution is not viable as we must start earlier. The BarrierController seems close to what I need but the example is old - is this functionality still present in MC? (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=BarrierController) | You can use different dependency mechanisms. From the one's that already exist - depend, demand - or you can easily write your own. Or there is also KernelEventListener - http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/kern... - if that's what suites you best. e.g. | <bean name="mybean" class="org.jboss.acme.FooBar"> | <demands state="Start">jboss.system:type=Server</demand> | </bean> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4108258#...
