Managed Bean Question

[Anthony Mutiso 2 <an...@utilitynet.net>]

I have a webapp with a custom realm class.
The webapp worked fine in TC 4.0.5.
When I migrate my webapp to 4.1.12 I get Managed Bean errors which fail my
realm initialization.
On searching the mail-list I found suggestions that I need to register the
realm class in the mbeans-discriptors.xml file.

My qustions is, is this the only or right way to address this issues?

It feels somewhat dirty to update a file in the catalina.jar file.

Thanks

Anthony

Fortunately, there is a yet-undocumented-method :( that works much better.

The "ServerLifecycleListener" in the "server.xml" file takes an
(undocumented) attribute called 'descriptors'.  The value is a ';' separated
list of resources to load the mbean-descriptors from.  This allows you to
package your mbeans-descriptors.xml file with the jar that contains the
custom Realm.  You just create your own mbeans-descriptors.xml file with
your Realm, and in "server.xml" set:
 <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener"
        descriptors="/net/utilitiynet/my/package/mbean-descriptors.xml"
            debug="0"/>

and all of your custom classes will be registered.  It works great for me.
