Interface MBeanServer

public interface

MBeanServer

This is the interface for MBean manipulation on the agent side. It contains the methods necessary for the creation, registration, and deletion of MBeans as well as the access methods for registered MBeans. This is the core component of the JMX infrastructure.

Every MBean which is added to the MBean server becomes manageable: its attributes and operations become remotely accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBean server. A Java object cannot be registered in the MBean server unless it is a JMX compliant MBean.

When an MBean is registered or unregistered in the MBean server an MBeanServerNotification Notification is emitted. To register an object as listener to MBeanServerNotifications call the MBean server method addNotificationListener with ObjectName the ObjectName of the MBeanServerDelegate. This ObjectName is: JMImplementation:type=MBeanServerDelegate.

queryMBeans

public java.util.Set 
queryMBeans
(ObjectName name,
                                 QueryExp query)
Gets MBeans controlled by the MBean server. This method allows any of the following to be obtained: All MBeans, a set of MBeans specified by pattern matching on the ObjectName and/or a Query expression, a specific MBean. When the object name is null or no domain and key properties are specified, all objects are to be selected (and filtered if a query is specified). It returns the set of ObjectInstance objects (containing the ObjectName and the Java Class name) for the selected MBeans.

Parameters:

name - The object name pattern identifying the MBeans to be retrieved. If null or no domain and key properties are specified, all the MBeans registered will be retrieved.
query - The query expression to be applied for selecting MBeans. If null no query expression will be applied for selecting MBeans.

Returns:

A set containing the ObjectInstance objects for the selected MBeans. If no MBean satisfies the query an empty list is returned.

 

queryNames

public java.util.Set 
queryNames
(ObjectName name,
                                QueryExp query)
Gets the names of MBeans controlled by the MBean server. This method enables any of the following to be obtained: The names of all MBeans, the names of a set of MBeans specified by pattern matching on the ObjectName and/or a Query expression, a specific MBean name (equivalent to testing whether an MBean is registered). When the objec name is null or no domain and key properties are specified, all objects are selected (and filtered if a query is specified). It returns the set of ObjectNames for the MBeans selected.

Parameters:

name - The object name pattern identifying the MBeans to be retrieved. If null or no domain and key properties are specified, all the MBeans registered will be retrieved.
query - The query expression to be applied for selecting MBeans. If null no query expression will be applied for selecting MBeans.

Returns:

A set containing the ObjectNames for the selected MBeans. If no MBean satisfies the query an empty list is returned.
