Something may have just clicked. It was faint though. If I use a startup class
to launch an rmi object and bind it to JNDI such that ejbeans can access and
use it, are you saying that I might just as well be using a JMX MBeanServer?
I see the startup class as a way to extend the app server but also as a way
to start up a resource provider (that is threaded) and be legal wrt to the
spec's
law against ejbeans starting threads. It also makes it unecessary to launch
a stand alone app to get resources started that are not provided by the
appserver. Not sure if this is a broken idea. One problem though, is how to
know when to shut down the rmi object (release it's resources, etc.)
What advantages does a JMX server have over just launching the rmi object?
Portablbility maybe? although you still need to use the "startup class" (at
least for
now) to get it going.
I've been struggling against this need that seems to keep popping up for
some sort of conceptual envelope surrounding the appserver -- this envelope
does things like starts rmi objects, put's things in JNDI, etc. The tendancy is
to try and solve all these managment and initialization needs in terms of
the appserver container and stateless beans and various other contortions.
Maybe this conceptual envelpe is JMX. Anyway, that was the faint click.
Did I really hear it?
