Seems like you are doing this in code, rather than in XML, but in either case there is a third solution that uses <record> or its underlying mechanism, BuildListerners. With <record>, you'd be forced to go thru a file still, but by implementing your own listener like Record does, and installing it prior to Java.execute(), you can monitor the messages and do what you asked about it would seem. You can then uninstall the listener when you've detected the message you expected, or after Java.execute complete (or throws) in case the startup of the J2EE server failed. Not sure if this applies to what you had in mind without more details, but hopefully that helps.
