true if the specified object is in the set, false otherwise.
Since:
JMX 1.2

getObservedObjects

public ObjectName[] getObservedObjects()
Returns an array containing the objects being observed.

Returns:
The objects being observed.
Since:
JMX 1.2

getObservedObject

public ObjectName getObservedObject()
Deprecated. As of JMX 1.2, replaced by getObservedObjects()

setObservedObject

public void setObservedObject(ObjectName object)
Deprecated. As of JMX 1.2, replaced by addObservedObject(javax.management.ObjectName)

Sets the object to observe identified by its object name.

Parameters:
object - The object to observe.
See Also:
getObservedObject()

getObservedAttribute

public String getObservedAttribute()
Gets the attribute being observed.

Returns:
The attribute being observed.
See Also:
setObservedAttribute(java.lang.String)

setObservedAttribute

public void setObservedAttribute(String attribute)
Sets the attribute to observe.

Parameters:
attribute - The attribute to observe.
See Also:
getObservedAttribute()

getGranularityPeriod

public long getGranularityPeriod()
Gets the granularity period (in milliseconds).

Returns:
The granularity period.
