Description

The create-lifecycle-module subcommand creates a lifecycle module. A lifecycle module provides a means of running a short or long duration Java-based task at a specific stage in the server life cycle. This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

asadmin-options

Options for the asadmin utility. For information about these options, see the asadmin help page.

--help

-?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--classname

This is the fully qualified name of the startup class.

--target

Indicates the location where the lifecycle module is to be created. Valid values are

server- Specifies the default server instance as the target for creating the lifecycle module. server is the name of the default server instance and is the default value for this option.
cluster_name - Specifies a particular cluster as the target for creating the lifecycle module.
instance_name - Specifies a particular stand-alone server instance as the target for creating the lifecycle module.

--classpath

This option indicates where the lifecycle module is located. It is a classpath with the standard format: either colon-separated (Unix) or semicolon-separated (Windows) JAR files and directories. The referenced JAR files and directories are not uploaded to the server instance.

--loadorder

This option represents an integer value that can be used to force the order in which deployed lifecycle modules are loaded at server startup. Smaller numbered modules are loaded sooner. Order is unspecified if two or more lifecycle modules have the same load-order value. The default is Integer.MAX_VALUE, which means the lifecycle module is loaded last.

--failurefatal

This option tells the system what to do if the lifecycle module does not load correctly. When this option is set to true, the system aborts the server startup if this module does not load properly. The default value is false.

--enabled

This option determines whether the lifecycle module is enabled at runtime. The default value is true.

--description

This is the text description of the lifecycle module.

--property

This is an optional attribute containing name/value pairs used to configure the lifecycle module.

Operands

module_name: This operand is a unique identifier for the deployed server lifecycle event listener module.

Examples

Example 1 Creating a Lifecycle Module

The following example creates a lifecycle module named customSetup.

asadmin> create-lifecycle-module --classname "com.acme.CustomSetup"
--classpath "/export/customSetup" --loadorder 1 --failurefatal=true
--description "this is a sample customSetup"
--property rmi="Server\=acme1\:7070":timeout=30 customSetup
Command create-lifecycle-module executed successfully

The escape character \ is used in the property option to specify that the equal sign (=) and colon (:) are part of the rmi property value.

Exit Status

0: command executed successfully
1: error in executing the command
