WebappClassLoader appears to ignore LifecyceListeners

2009-05-27 Thread Okken,Brett
It appears that the WebappClassLoader[1], while declaring that it implements 
Lifecycle[2], actually ignores LifecycleListeners[3]. I have observed that 
registering a Lifecycle listener with a WebappClassLoader seems to have no 
effect. When the classloader is stopped, the listener was not called. The 
source[4] hosted out on java2s.com seems to confirm that listeners are ignored.

Why are listeners ignored?
If they are going to be ignored, could this at least be documented? Also, 
perhaps addLifecycleListener[5] should throw an exception to indicate it is not 
supported.

jmx notification of WebModule stopping

2009-05-27 Thread Okken,Brett

I would like to monitor the status of wars/web modules/applications via jmx 
using notifications. However, it does not seem that any of the possible MBeans 
send out notifications of shutdown. I have tried the WebModule 
(*:j2eeType=WebModule,name=//host/app,*), Manager 
(*:type=Manager,path=/app,host=host), even the WebapClassLoader 
(*:type=WebappClassLoader,path=/app,host=host), all to no avail.
Do any of the MBeans send out notifications, or must I poll to determine if 
applications are still running?
