Method Detail

getAttribute

public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String attribute)
                              throws AttributeNotFoundException,

                                     ReflectionException

Obtains the value of a specific attribute of the Dynamic MBean.

Parameters:

attribute - The name of the attribute to be retrieved

Returns:

The value of the attribute retrieved.

Throws:

AttributeNotFoundException -

MBeanException - Wraps an Exception thrown by the MBean's getter.

ReflectionException - Wraps an Exception thrown while trying to invoke the getter.

getAttributes

public AttributeList getAttributes(java.lang.String[] attributes)

Enables the values of several attributes of the Dynamic MBean.

Parameters:

attributes - A list of the attributes to be retrieved.

Returns:

The list of attributes retrieved.

getMBeanInfo

public MBeanInfo getMBeanInfo()

Provides the exposed attributes and actions of the Dynamic MBean using an MBeanInfo object.

Returns:

An instance of MBeanInfo allowing all attributes and actions exposed by this Dynamic MBean to be retrieved.

invoke

public java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.String actionName,
                               java.lang.Object[] params,

                        throws MBeanException,
                               ReflectionException

Allows an action to be invoked on the Dynamic MBean.

Parameters:

actionName - The name of the action to be invoked.

params - An array of the parameters to be set when the action is invoked.

signature - An array containing the signature of the action. The class objects will be loaded through the same class loader as the one used for loading the MBean on which the action is invoked.

Returns:

The object returned by the action, which represents the result of invoking the action on the MBean specified.

Throws:

MBeanException - Wraps an Exception thrown by the invocation of a MBean's method.

ReflectionException - Wraps an Exception thrown while trying to invoke an action.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(Attribute attribute)
                  throws AttributeNotFoundException,

                         ReflectionException

Sets the value of a specific attribute of the Dynamic MBean.

Parameters:

attribute - The identification of the attribute to be set and the value it is to be set to.

Throws:

AttributeNotFoundException -

InvalidAttributeValueException -

MBeanException - Wraps an Exception thrown by the MBean's setter.

ReflectionException - Wraps an Exception thrown while trying to invoke the setter.

setAttributes

public AttributeList setAttributes(AttributeList attributes)

Sets the values of several attributes of the Dynamic MBean.

Parameters:

attributes - A list of attributes to be set and values they are to be set to.

Returns:

The list of attributes that were set, with their new values.
