Here is source code that shows all of the above: a persistent XMBean, accessing it within a web application, creating it as a Seam component, and wrapping the MBean proxy for safety: http://chiralsoftware.com/master-sauce/. This is still a work in progress, and in fact it always will be in prog

The issue, in my mind, is that using mbeans doesn't lend itself to the scenarios I had in mind, with environment (dev, test, stage, etc...) and server (app01, app02, etc...) specific configs. However, I'm glad it worked for your situation! Can you put up an example of how you're using the SA

Actually using MBeans is better than just having it read a config file somewhere. With the bean, I get to store properties, and yes, that is more cumbersome than putting them in a config file. But I get to do more: I can have the bean not only store the path to the file storage directory, but

I just got my SAR working and it is persistent. Now I have to get access to the SAR's mbean from within the EAR. That seems like that should be easy. And the persistent SAR itself was pretty easy, and this is a nice way to do all this, so config parameters can be used from the jmx-console. I

It may be the best option currently, however, this is an issue that is near and dear to me. My day job has me working on a pretty nice commercial Java web application framework, which includes a really well thought out (in my opinion) configuration mechanism involving a config path (like a clas

I could do that, but isn't the app classpath all within the EAR? I want to be able to ship out an EAR file on a CD and have the sysadmin (who knows nothing about any of this stuff) be able to copy it into a directory and say, "I'm done". My idea right now is to try to do this the JBoss Way. N

How about a properties file. It's loadable from your app anywhere on the apps claspath. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4075130#4075130 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4075130 _

Why don't you use a database to save that config file? Or save the parameters to a table. Just saying that because if an EAR archive "represents" an application there's no way to set some config file to that application directly... but I'm just a noob in JBoss...blahbhlah. View the original pos

No ideas on this? It sure would be nice to have a properties file somewhere in JBoss that is external to the EAR that lets me define parameters that are visible to Seam. Like the location of an uploads directory, etc. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=view
