I've got an MBean who's state I'm trying to persist. If I start the app server with the .ear containing the .sar deployed I get an error ending in:Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot perform operations unless service is started | at org.jboss.system.pm.AttributePersistenceService.checkStarted(AttributePersistenceService.java:280) If I deploy the app to a running app server all is fine - so I assume I've got a dependency problem. I've tried adding <depends>jboss:service=AttributePersistenceService</depends> and <depends>jboss:service=AttributePersistenceService,StateString='Started'</depends> to my jboss-service.xml in the .sar file but the error isn't going away. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Matt Kleiderman View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3964176#...
