We decided to use MBean for such purposes and it proved to work quite well. MBeans have not restrictions regarding the spec, the can read/write the filesystem and use any native librarie you want.
The MDB can be changed by a MBean fetching a queue and doing some stuff, coupled to a scheduler that will check every XX secs if there are messages in the queeu for instance. For filesystem stuff, If it's frequent you can use either BLOBs either a Connector (see the JCA spec). By the way, I am intereseted by any good doc regarding that matter (that is connectors) inside Jboss Regards, Stephane On Tue, 2003-09-30 at 22:27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all, > > I have two problems.
