Writing custom mbeans, and log rotation events

Hi everybody,

I am trying to write a custom mbean that listens to various events and takes action based on that.

Specifically:

- Generic errors generate an SMS to my cell phone
- When logs are rotated, I want to save the logs out to a different filesystem, and delete the local file.

So my questions are:

1. how do you write an MBean that has access to the classpath of your app? putting it into applications/mbeans won't do that. Ideally I just would like an MBean module in my EAR file, and none of this create-mbean deploy-mbean stuff (and full access to my app's runtime)

2. what is the event for the log being rotated?

Thanks!
Benjamin
