java Management Extensions (JMX) is an API that facilitates building management
|
||
|
|
applications that can configure, and perform operations on, a server applica
|
||
|
|
-tion. In general, each manageable component of the server application is re
|
||
|
|
-presented by a Management Bean (or MBean, for short). JMX defines three types
|
||
|
|
of MBeans, of which Model MBeans are the most flexible. Model MBeans provide a
|
||
|
|
way to define MBeans for many different components, without having to write a
|
||
|
|
specific MBean implementation class for each one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, this power comes at a price. It is necessary to set up a substantial
|
||
|
|
amount of metadata about each MBean, including the attributes it should expose
|
||
|
|
(similar to JavaBeans properties), the operations it should make available (si
|
||
|
|
-milar to calling methods of a Java object via reflection), and other related
|
||
|
|
information. The Modeler component is designed to make this process fairly pain
|
||
|
|
-less -- the required metadata is configured from an XML description of each
|
||
|
|
Model MBean to be supported. In addition, Modeler provides a factory mechanism
|
||
|
|
to create the actual Model MBean instances themselves.
