JBoss MBean, start a thread

[Berlin Brown]

Is there code out there for starting a thread in JBoss, mainly within
in a MBean. I could do it the normal way, but I just want to make sure
there isnt a JBoss way of doing it.

What are you trying to do in your thread.

Open a stateless socket connection to a server, read a couple of bytes
of data and close.

At intervals, or only once.

I plan to use some kind of timing, possibly turn it off and on,
intervals.

JBoss has a timer, or worker MBean to do that sort of thing.
If you start up the JMX console, you should be able to see it.

I've done this. I just created a runnable object and started it in
the start method for the service and sent it a semaphore telling it to
stop in the stop method for the service.

I've never tried the MBean that kjc mentions tho. That might be a
better alternative.
