• Writing an MBean that relies on a JBoss service requires you to follow the JBoss service pattern. The JBoss MBean service pattern consists of a set of life cycle operations like create, start, stop, and destroy that provide state change notifications.

• We can create a Service MBean in JBoss EAP6 By simply creating a Class and adding start() and stop() to it and by creating a $YOUR_SAR/META-INF/jboss-service.xml like following:

• Step-1). create an interface as following:

public interface TestMBean {
	public void setMessage(String message);
	public String getMessage();
}

• Step-2). Create an implementation class of above interface along with start() and stop() additional methods.

public class Test implements TestMBean {

	public String Message;

	public Test() {
		System.out.println(" TestMBean is activated...inside Test() constructor, Message: " + Message);
	}

	public void setMessage(String Message) {
		System.out.println(" Server Watch Message is set to : " + Message);
		this.Message = Message;
	}

	public String getMessage() {
		System.out.println(" Server Watch Message is set to : " + Message);
		return this.Message;
	}

	public void start() throws Exception {
		System.out.println(" Starting start() Test invoked");
	}

	public void stop() throws Exception {
		System.out.println(" Stopping stop() Test  invoked");
	}

}

• Step3). Compile above classes and place it inside mbean-test.sar

• Step4). Add a jboss-service.xml inside mbean-test.sar/META-INF as following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server xmlns="urn:jboss:service:7.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:service:7.0 jboss-service_7_0.xsd">
    <mbean code="org.jboss.jmx.test.Test" name="test.testing:service=MyTestMBean">
         <attribute name="Message">JBoss</attribute>
    </mbean>
</server>
