[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-5004) Mbeans declared in a DataSource descriptor should be started before the DataSource

[Adrian Brock (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5004?page=all ]

Adrian Brock updated JBAS-5004:
-------------------------------

       Issue Type: Feature Request  (was: Bug)
    Fix Version/s:     (was: JBossAS-5.0.0.GA)
                       (was: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA)
         Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

Changed to a feature request. 
Don't raise bug reports from guesses.

In no way is this GUESS by the security team accurate.
Nor has there been any change in behaviour occurred.

It is clearly documentated that for a datasource to depend on an MBean you must do

<local-tx-datasource>
...
<depends>com.acme:service=whatever</depends>
</local-tx-datasource>

In fact, this is exactly what happens in hsqldb-ds.xml (the default datasource
that comes with jboss)

<datasources>
   <local-tx-datasource>

      <!-- The jndi name of the DataSource, it is prefixed with java:/ -->
      <!-- Datasources are not available outside the virtual machine -->
      <jndi-name>DefaultDS</jndi-name>

...

      <!-- When using in-process (standalone) mode -->
      <depends>jboss:service=Hypersonic,database=localDB</depends>
      <!-- Uncomment when using hsqldb in server mode
      <depends>jboss:service=Hypersonic</depends>
      -->
   </local-tx-datasource>

...

   <!-- For hsqldb accessed from jboss only, in-process (standalone) mode --> 
   <mbean code="org.jboss.jdbc.HypersonicDatabase" 
     name="jboss:service=Hypersonic,database=localDB">
     <attribute name="Database">localDB</attribute>
     <attribute name="InProcessMode">true</attribute>

I don't have any plans to implement this heuristic.
This configuration mechanism is broken for different reasons.

> A mbean declared inside a datasource descriptor should be started before the datasource and the datasource recorded as dependent on the mbean.
