I like that idea. So to help me out here, if I work with the service interface, there is no way for me to call "addLifecycleListener". So for a few simple questions, 1. how do I get the "server/service" object through JMX? 2. I could check using reflection if the addLifecycleListener method is available, but an interface would be nicer.

The server and service should be registered. We expose the "managedResource" attribute of type "Object" - you can cast it to the right type. All you need is to know the object name of the server. BTW, I would strongly suggest dealing with the Service - this way your code will work for embeded catalina ( for example jboss doesn't use Server, and AFAIK it is not required ). Static methods are not very nice :-) Costin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
