[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-3573) monitoring plugin: collecting agent's EJB should not be spawning and monitoring a thread

monitoring plugin: collecting agent's EJB should not be spawning and monitoring a thread
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-3573
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3573
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
         Environment: windows
            Reporter: Viet Hung Nguyen


The collecting agent is spawning and monitoring a thread. It does this in order to periodically capture snapshots of the server's status. However, Anita pointed out that it is a violation of the EJB spec. And I have confirmed this. An alternative is to use EJB's TimerService.

[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-3573) monitoring plugin: collecting agent's EJB should not be spawning and monitoring a thread

Viet Hung Nguyen updated GERONIMO-3573:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: geronimo-3573.patch

This patch gets rid of any threads created and managed by the Master EJB and replaces it with a TimerService which is injected via annotations. Jarek recently put a patch in for OpenEJB that was committed to fix TimerService injection, but they have not published it to their repo yet.

So in order to run this, I had to build OpenEJB locally, then build Geronimo trunk. 

mrc-server/mrc-ejb/src/main/java/org/apache/geronimo/monitor/snapshots/SnapshotXMLBuilder.java 

and 

mrc-server/mrc-ejb/src/main/java/org/apache/geronimo/monitor/snapshots/SnapshotThread.java 

are not longer needed. So, if this patch merits a commit, I hope the committer will also remove these files from the repo too.

[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-3573) monitoring plugin: collecting agent's EJB should not be spawning and monitoring a thread

Jarek Gawor commented on GERONIMO-3573:
---------------------------------------

Viet,

A few comments:

1) SnapshotProcessor does not need to extend Thread
2) "org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory" should be "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory"
3) Start using Commons Logging API instead of outputting stuff to System.out or doing e.printStackTrace()
