Accessing an HASingleton subclass

[akhil achuthan]

Im using a clustered JBoss4.2.3GA environment. To attain the singleton behaviour im having a class say AppHA.java that extends org.jboss.ha.singleton.HASingletonSupport. As this is no normal java class it should not be correct to acess this class by creating a new instance using the new operator( new AppHA() ). Now how do I access a public custom method within this AppHA class?


Thanks in advance

How are you deploying that class? I mean, how does JBoss AS know, that it has to use that class?

I have it configured it inside my jboss-service.xml within a .sar file. The snippet is given below.

<mbean code="net.test.app.akhil.init.ejb.ControlInitBean" name="jnpr.jmp:service=ControlInitBean,component=jive">
<depends>jboss.j2ee:module=inventory.jar,service=EJB3</depends>
</mbean>


Actually my ControlInitBean is a HASingletonSupport class.

I could access the my HASingleton with this approach, but still have a problem. The hash codes printed within the startSingleton() and stopSingleton() are the same for a JVM lifecycle. But for the same lifecycle if I print the hashcode within my custom method that I access using the HA-JNDI lookup, I get a different has code printed. Coz of I doubt if am going the right way...
