Thanks, I think.
I don't have experience with Spring, so this will take some time for me to
digest. I was rather hoping there was a way to register an EventListener
without rebuilding the OpenNMS.
If I am understanding correctly, beanRefContext.xml is used at build time, not
run time, so if I update that file, I need to get the source and rebuild the
system.
As far as I can tell, I can create a NotificationStrategy and register it
without access to the source code for OpenNMS. This does not seem to be true
for the path you suggested for the EventListener. Is there a non-Spring
approach to add a simple Listener, or do I need to adopt the whole Spring
Framework to add a new service. I understand why you might wish to have a
consistent structure for adding new services, so I won't try to buck the trend.
===========================
Decided to try something differently. I tried basing my entry on
<name>OpenNMS:Name=Queued</name>
<class-name>org.opennms.netmgt.queued.jmx.Queued</class-name>
<invoke at="start" pass="0" method="init"/>
<invoke at="start" pass="1" method="start"/>
<invoke at="status" pass="0" method="status"/>
<invoke at="stop" pass="0" method="stop"/>
</service>
and opennms would not start because of missing Spring Contexts (I expect that
is what the beanRefContext is for)
Then I tried
<service>
<name>OpenNMS:Name=DramaConverter</name>
<class-name>com.telcordia.ar.drama.opennms.dramabeans.jmx.DramaConverter</class-name>
</service>
and OpenNMS starts up fine. Apparently, the <invoke> elements caused a problem
with the system looking for a SpringContext.
Unfortunately, now the class does not get referenced and no methods are called.
I tried adding static initializers to instantiate a singleton and register it,
but they are not invoked. So I guess the simpler approach won't work. Time to
install Maven and build from scratch.
