ModelMBeanInfoSupport (Java 2 Platform Ent. Ed. v1.4)

javax.management.modelmbean
Class ModelMBeanInfoSupport
java.lang.Object
  javax.management.MBeanInfo
      javax.management.modelmbean.ModelMBeanInfoSupport
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, ModelMBeanInfo, Serializable

public class ModelMBeanInfoSupport
extends MBeanInfo
implements ModelMBeanInfo, Serializable

meta data for ModelMBeans. Descriptors have been added on the meta data objects.
Java resources wishing to be manageable instantiate the ModelMBean using the MBeanServer's createMBean method. The resource then sets the ModelMBeanInfo and Descriptors for the ModelMBean instance. The attributes and operations exposed via the ModelMBeanInfo for the ModelMBean are accessible from MBeans, connectors/adaptors like other MBeans. Through the Descriptors, values and methods in the managed application can be defined and mapped to attributes and operations of the ModelMBean. This mapping can be defined during development in a file or dynamically and programmatically at runtime.
Every ModelMBean which is instantiated in the MBeanServer becomes manageable: its attributes and operations become remotely accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBeanServer. A Java object cannot be registered in the MBeanServer unless it is a JMX compliant MBean. By instantiating a ModelMBean, resources are guaranteed that the MBean is valid. MBeanException and RuntimeOperationsException must be thrown on every public method. This allows for wrappering exceptions from distributed communications (RMI, EJB, etc.)

                               RuntimeOperationsException
Description copied from interface: ModelMBeanInfo

Sets the ModelMBean's descriptor. This descriptor contains default, MBean wide metadata about the MBean and default policies for persistence and caching. This operation does a complete replacement of the descriptor, no merging is done. If the descriptor to set to is null then the default descriptor will be created. The default descriptor is: name=mbeanName,descriptorType=mbean, displayName=this.getClassName(), persistPolicy=never,log=F,export=F,visiblity=1 If the descriptor does not contain all these fields, they will be added with these default values.

Parameters:
inMBeanDescriptor - the descriptor to set.
Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException - Wraps an IllegalArgumentException for invalid descriptor.
MBeanException - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.
