which must be <em>public</em> and consist of:</p> |
| 2 | 58 |
|
| 833 | 59 |
<ul> |
60 |
<li>named and typed attributes that can be read and/or |
|
61 |
written</li> |
|
| 2 | 62 |
|
| 833 | 63 |
<li>named and typed operations that can be invoked</li> |
64 |
||
65 |
<li>typed notifications that can be emitted by the MBean.</li> |
|
66 |
</ul> |
|
| 2 | 67 |
|
| 833 | 68 |
<p>For example, an MBean representing an application's |
69 |
configuration could have attributes representing the different |
|
70 |
configuration items. Reading the <code>CacheSize</code> |
|
71 |
attribute would return the current value of that item. |
|
72 |
Writing it would update the item, potentially changing the |
|
73 |
behavior of the running application. An operation such as |
|
74 |
<code>save</code> could store the current configuration |
|
75 |
persistently. A notification such as |
|
76 |
<code>ConfigurationChangedNotification</code> could be sent |
|
77 |
every time the configuration is changed.</p> |
|
| 2 | 78 |
|
| 833 | 79 |
<p>In the standard usage of the JMX API, MBeans are implemented |
80 |
as Java objects. However, as explained below, these objects are |
|
81 |
not usually referenced directly.</p> |

<h3>Standard MBeans</h3> |
| 2 | 85 |
|
| 833 | 86 |
<p>To make MBean implementation simple, the JMX API includes the |
87 |
notion of <em>Standard MBeans</em>. A Standard MBean is one |
|
88 |
whose attributes and operations are deduced from a Java |
|
89 |
interface using certain naming patterns, similar to those used |
|
| 30678 | 90 |
by JavaBeans™. For example, consider an interface like this:</p> |
| 2 | 91 |
|
| 833 | 92 |
<pre> |
| 2 | 93 |
public interface ConfigurationMBean {

<h3>MXBeans</h3> |
| 2 | 131 |
|
| 833 | 132 |
<p>An <em>MXBean</em> is a variant of Standard MBean where complex |
133 |
types are mapped to a standard set of types defined in the |
|
134 |
{@link javax.management.openmbean} package. MXBeans are appropriate
|
|
135 |
if you would otherwise need to reference application-specific |
|
136 |
classes in your MBean interface. They are described in detail |
|
137 |
in the specification for {@link javax.management.MXBean MXBean}.</p>
|
|
138 |
||
| 2 | 139 |
|
| 833 | 140 |
<h3>Dynamic MBeans</h3> |
| 2 | 141 |
|
| 833 | 142 |
<p>A <em>Dynamic MBean</em> is an MBean that defines its |
143 |
management interface at run-time. For example, a configuration |
|
144 |
MBean could determine the names and types of the attributes it |
|
145 |
exposes by parsing an XML file.</p> |
|
146 |
||
147 |
<p>Any Java object of a class that implements the {@link
|
|
148 |
javax.management.DynamicMBean DynamicMBean} interface is a |
|
149 |
Dynamic MBean.</p> |
|
| 2 | 150 |
|
151 |
||
| 833 | 152 |
<h3>Open MBeans</h3> |
153 |
||
154 |
<p>An <em>Open MBean</em> is a kind of Dynamic MBean where the |
|
155 |
types of attributes and of operation parameters and return |
|
156 |
values are built using a small set of predefined Java classes. |
|
157 |
Open MBeans facilitate operation with remote management programs |
|
158 |
that do not necessarily have access to application-specific |
|
159 |
types, including non-Java programs. Open MBeans are defined by |
|
160 |
the package <a href="openmbean/package-summary.html"><code> |
|
161 |
javax.management.openmbean</code></a>.</p> |
|
162 |
||
| 2 | 163 |
|
| 833 | 164 |
<h3>Model MBeans</h3> |
165 |
||
166 |
<p>A <em>Model MBean</em> is a kind of Dynamic MBean that acts |
|
167 |
as a bridge between the management interface and the |
|
168 |
underlying managed resource. Both the management interface and |
|
169 |
the managed resource are specified as Java objects. The same |
|
170 |
Model MBean implementation can be reused many times with |
|
171 |
different management interfaces and managed resources, and it can |
|
172 |
provide common functionality such as persistence and caching. |
|
173 |
Model MBeans are defined by the package |
|
174 |
<a href="modelmbean/package-summary.html"><code> |
|
175 |
javax.management.modelmbean</code></a>.</p> |
|
| 2 | 176 |
|
177 |
||
| 833 | 178 |
<h2>MBean Server</h2> |
| 2 | 179 |
|
| 833 | 180 |
<p>To be useful, an MBean must be registered in an <em>MBean |
181 |
Server</em>. An MBean Server is a repository of MBeans. |
|
182 |
Usually the only access to the MBeans is through the MBean |
|
183 |
Server. In other words, code no longer accesses the Java |
|
184 |
object implementing the MBean directly, but instead accesses |
|
185 |
the MBean by name through the MBean Server. Each MBean has a |
|
186 |
unique name within the MBean Server, defined by the {@link
|
|
187 |
javax.management.ObjectName ObjectName} class.</p> |
|
| 2 | 188 |
|
| 833 | 189 |
<p>An MBean Server is an object implementing the interface |
190 |
{@link javax.management.MBeanServer MBeanServer}.
|
|
191 |
The most convenient MBean Server to use is the |
|
192 |
<em>Platform MBean Server</em>. This is a |
|
193 |
single MBean Server that can be shared by different managed |
|
194 |
components running within the same Java Virtual Machine. The |
|
195 |
Platform MBean Server is accessed with the method {@link
|
|
196 |
java.lang.management.ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer()}.</p> |
|
| 2 | 197 |
|
| 833 | 198 |
<p>Application code can also create a new MBean Server, or |
199 |
access already-created MBean Servers, using the {@link
|
|
200 |
javax.management.MBeanServerFactory MBeanServerFactory} class.</p> |
|
| 2 | 201 |
|
202 |
||
| 833 | 203 |
<h3>Creating MBeans in the MBean Server</h3> |
204 |
||
205 |
<p>There are two ways to create an MBean. One is to construct a |
|
206 |
Java object that will be the MBean, then use the {@link
|
|
207 |
javax.management.MBeanServer#registerMBean registerMBean} |
|
208 |
method to register it in the MBean Server. The other is to |
|
209 |
create and register the MBean in a single operation using one |
|
210 |
of the {@link javax.management.MBeanServer#createMBean(String,
|
|
211 |
javax.management.ObjectName) createMBean} methods.</p> |
|
| 2 | 212 |
|
| 833 | 213 |

<h3>MBean lifecycle</h3> |
| 2 | 267 |
|
| 833 | 268 |
<p>An MBean can implement the {@link javax.management.MBeanRegistration
|
269 |
MBeanRegistration} interface in order to be told when it is registered |
|
270 |
and unregistered in the MBean Server. Additionally, the {@link
|
|
271 |
javax.management.MBeanRegistration#preRegister preRegister} method |
|
272 |
allows the MBean to get a reference to the <code>MBeanServer</code> |
|
273 |
object and to get its <code>ObjectName</code> within the MBean |
|
274 |
Server.</p> |
|
| 2 | 275 |
|
276 |
||
| 833 | 277 |
<h2>Notifications</h2> |
278 |
||
279 |
<p>A <em>notification</em> is an instance of the {@link
|
|
280 |
javax.management.Notification Notification} class or a |
|
281 |
subclass. In addition to its Java class, it has a |
|
282 |
<em>type</em> string that can distinguish it from other |
|
283 |
notifications of the same class.</p> |
|
284 |
||
| 4156 | 285 |
<p>An MBean that will emit notifications must implement the |
286 |
{@link javax.management.NotificationBroadcaster
|
|
287 |
NotificationBroadcaster} or {@link
|
|
288 |
javax.management.NotificationEmitter NotificationEmitter} |
|
289 |
interface. Usually, it does this by subclassing |
|
290 |
{@link javax.management.NotificationBroadcasterSupport
|
|
291 |
NotificationBroadcasterSupport} or delegating to an instance of |
|
292 |
that class. Here is an example:</p> |
|
| 833 | 293 |
|
294 |
<pre> |
|
295 |
public class Configuration <b>extends NotificationBroadcasterSupport</b> |
|
296 |
implements ConfigurationMBean {
|
|
297 |
... |
|
298 |
private void updated() {
|
|
299 |
Notification n = new Notification(...); |
|
300 |
<b>{@link javax.management.NotificationBroadcasterSupport#sendNotification
|
|
301 |
sendNotification}(n)</b>; |
|
302 |
} |
|
303 |
} |
|
304 |
</pre> |
|
305 |
||
306 |
||
307 |
<p>Notifications can be received by a <em>listener</em>, which |
|
308 |
is an object that implements the {@link
|
|
309 |
javax.management.NotificationListener NotificationListener} |
|
310 |
interface. You can add a listener to an MBean with the method |
|
311 |
{@link
|
|
312 |
javax.management.MBeanServer#addNotificationListener(ObjectName, |
|
313 |
NotificationListener, NotificationFilter, Object)}. |
|
314 |
You can optionally supply a <em>filter</em> to this method, to |
|
315 |
select only notifications of interest. A filter is an object |
|
316 |
that implements the {@link javax.management.NotificationFilter
|
|
317 |
NotificationFilter} interface.</p> |
|
| 2 | 318 |
|
| 833 | 319 |
<p>An MBean can be a listener for notifications emitted by other |
320 |
MBeans in the same MBean Server. In this case, it implements |
|
321 |
{@link javax.management.NotificationListener
|
|
322 |
NotificationListener} and the method {@link
|
|
323 |
javax.management.MBeanServer#addNotificationListener(ObjectName, |
|
324 |
ObjectName, NotificationFilter, Object)} is used to listen.</p> |
|
325 |
||
326 |
||
327 |
<h2>Remote Access to MBeans</h2> |
|
| 2 | 328 |
|
| 833 | 329 |
<p>An MBean Server can be accessed remotely through a |
330 |
<em>connector</em>. A connector allows a remote Java |
|
331 |
application to access an MBean Server in essentially the same |
|
332 |
way as a local one. The package |
|
333 |
<a href="remote/package-summary.html"><code> |
|
334 |
javax.management.remote</code></a> defines connectors.</p> |
|
335 |
||
336 |
<p>The JMX specification also defines the notion of an |
|
337 |
<em>adaptor</em>. An adaptor translates between requests in a |
|
338 |
protocol such as SNMP or HTML and accesses to an MBean Server. |
|
339 |
So for example an SNMP GET operation might result in a |
|
340 |
<code>getAttribute</code> on the MBean Server.</p> |

<p>When a client connects to a server using the JMX Remote |
346 |
API, it is possible that they do not have the same version |
|
347 |
of the JMX specification. The version of the JMX |
|
348 |
specification described here is version 1.4. Previous |
|
349 |
versions were 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. (There was no 1.3.) |
|
350 |
The standard JMX Remote API is defined to work with version |
|
351 |
1.2 onwards, so in standards-based deployment the only |
|
352 |
interoperability questions that arise concern version 1.2 |
|
353 |
onwards.</p> |

<p>Every version of the JMX specification continues to |
356 |
implement the features of previous versions. So when the |
|
357 |
client is running an earlier version than the server, there |
|
358 |
should not be any interoperability concerns.</p> |

<p>When the client is running a later version than the server, |
361 |
certain newer features may not be available, as detailed in |
|

the next sections. The client can determine the server's |
