Hi, Hoping to post under the correct forum. I have two questions regarding applications deployed as ear-files. 1) How can I programatically stop (shutdown) an application? 2) How can I "overload" the startup behaviour of my application. What I'm trying to do, is to during application startup, I will poll a license server. If license is OK, continue. Otherwise shut down the application. I have not been able to find this in the documentation. Thanks, Mattias View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4144513#...
