Create a Java Management Extensions client program using the Java Management Extensions Remote application programming interface

 

This topic describes how to develop and build a Java Management Extensions (JMX) client program that is compliant with JMX Remote application programming interface (JSR 160). After you have a working JMX client program, you can use it to manage WAS or non-WebSphere Application Server systems. This task assumes a basic familiarity with JSR 160 and JMX application programming interface (API) programming. For information on JSR 160, see http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=160. For information on the JMX APIs, see the JMX API documentation.

 

Overview

When you develop and run JMX clients that use various JMX connectors and that have security enabled, use the following guidelines. When you follow these guidelines, you guarantee the behavior among different implementations of JMX connectors. Any programming model that strays from these guidelines is unsupported.

  1. Create and use a single JMX client before you create and use another JMX client.

  2. Create and use a JMX client on the same thread.

  3. Use one of the following ways to specify a user ID and password to create a new JMX client:

    • Specify a default user ID and password in the property file.

    • Specify a user ID and password other than the default. After creating a JMX client with a nondefault user ID and password, specify the nondefault user ID and password when you create subsequent JMX clients.

 

Procedure

  1. Develop a JMX client program.

  2. Build and run the JMX client program.

    The steps that are required to build and run your program depend on the kind of application environment that your code runs. Refer to Use application clients for details on how to build and run your JMX client program.

 

Results

You have developed, built, and run a JMX client program that is JSR 160 compliant.
