Packaging a Component's Event Providers

Packaging a component's event providers enables the monitoring infrastructure of GlassFish Server to discover the event providers automatically.

To package a component's event providers, add an entry to the component's META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file that identifies all of the component's event providers. The format of the entry depends on how the event providers are defined:

• If the event providers are defined as Java classes, the entry is a list of the event providers' class names as follows:

  probe-provider-class-names : class-list
  

  class-list

  A comma-separated list of the fully qualified Java class names of the component's event providers.

• If the event providers are defined as XML fragments, the entry is a list of the paths to the files that contain the XML fragments as follows:

  probe-provider-xml-file-names : path-list
  

  path-list

  A comma-separated list of the paths to the XML files relative to the root of the archive in the JAR file.

Example 5–3 Manifest Entry for Event Providers That Are Defined as Java Classes

This example shows the entry in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file of a component whose event provider is the org.glassfish.pluggability.monitoring.ModuleProbeProvider class.
