If you want to log messages and use an appender this is fine. Notifications lets you decouple the producer from potential consumers and do things that don't necessary involve logging/writing/sending a more or less unstructured string message.
For example, when a module gets deployed (e.g. an .ear) a deployer will generate a notification and the jsr77 subsystem listens for that and creates a set of MBeans to "model" the deployed package. In addition, there are standard "monitor" mbeans that can be configured to poll attributes on other mbean and produce notifications, should certain thresholds get crossed. So this is really a way to add management function on an existing system, assuming you have the data already (e.g. an MBean with a ThreadCount attribute) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3855778#3855778 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3855778 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
