Hello; I've written a set of Ant tasks that allow JMX MBeans to be accessed from an Ant build script.
Here's a summary of the tasks and their functions: - configureMBean : get/set MBean properties - invokeMBean : invoke an MBean operation - copyMBean : copies all the properties of an MBean to a new MBean of the same type - removeMBean : unregisters an MBean from the MBeanServer - createMBean : creates a new MBean - showMBean : writes information about the MBean to the Ant log The current implementation supports BEA WLS 6.x/7.x. Support for JBoss platform, JSR77 standard, and other JMX implementations is underway. I am intending to submit these tasks to the Open Source community. But, before I do so, I'm interested in soliciting some feedback/information. 1. Does anyone know of a similar set of tasks that let Ant integrate with JMX? I wrote these tasks because (surprisingly) I couldn't find anything that would let me integrate with JMX from Ant (believe me, I searched). 2. Is there a general interest in this kind of capability? My motivation was to provide tools for J2EE resource creation and management from Ant that I use to build/deploy application. (e.g. create my JDBC pool before I deploy my entity beans...), but the tasks are general enough for much broader use. 3. As far as Open Source goes, should I start a seperate Open Source project or submit directly to the Apache Ant group? (who do I contact for this). All advice/feedback is greatly appreciated.
