How to send SMS and E-Mail on Jboss shutdown.

Hi,

I need to know how to send a sms and email when my application is stopped or terminated unexpectedly. My application runs on JBoss.

If the JBoss stops then i have to receive the sms and email. mentioning that the application has been stopped unexpectedly.

Please provide solution or an idea so that i can perform this functionality in my appliaction.

Hi!

You can use a voip-provider to send a SMS message trough HTTP. There are some providers who provide this kind of service. I use poivy.com but I'm sure it's not the only option.

Then you can use cron to run a script to check the state of the java server every now and then, eg. once in every 5 minutes.

If you are familiar with php, it has some great functions to check the state of java. Also, php has curl-functions integrated. You can use them to send the HTTP-request to the voip-provider to send the SMS, and of course the mail-function to send e-mail.

Hope this helps!
