Interface ModelMBeanInfo

All Known Implementing Classes:

ModelMBeanInfoSupport

public interface ModelMBeanInfo

This interface is implemented by the ModelMBeanInfo for every ModelMBean. An implementation of this interface must be shipped with every JMX Agent.

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, operations, and notifications exposed via the ModelMBeanInfo for the ModelMBean comprise the management interface and 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, operations, and notifications 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 wrapping exceptions from distributed communications (RMI, EJB, etc.)

                           RuntimeOperationsException

Adds or replaces descriptors in the ModelMBeanInfo.

Parameters:

getDescriptor

Descriptor getDescriptor(String inDescriptorName,

Returns a Descriptor requested by name and descriptorType.

Parameters:

inDescriptorName - The name of the descriptor.

inDescriptorType - The type of the descriptor being requested. If this is null or empty then all types are searched. Valid types are 'mbean', 'attribute', 'constructor' 'operation', and 'notification'. This value will be equal to the 'descriptorType' field in the descriptor that is returned.

Returns:

Descriptor containing the descriptor for the ModelMBean with the same name and descriptorType. If no descriptor is found, null is returned.

Throws:

MBeanException - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.

                   throws MBeanException,
                          RuntimeOperationsException

Sets descriptors in the info array of type inDescriptorType for the ModelMBean. The setDescriptor method of the corresponding ModelMBean*Info will be called to set the specified descriptor.

Parameters:

inDescriptor - The descriptor to be set in the ModelMBean. It must NOT be null. All descriptors must have name and descriptorType fields.

inDescriptorType - The type of the descriptor being set. If this is null then the descriptorType field in the descriptor is used. If specified this value must be set in the descriptorType field in the descriptor. Must be "mbean","attribute", "constructor", "operation", or "notification".

Throws:

RuntimeOperationsException - Wraps an IllegalArgumentException for illegal or null arguments or if the name field of the descriptor is not found in the corresponding MBeanAttributeInfo or MBeanConstructorInfo or MBeanNotificationInfo or MBeanOperationInfo.

MBeanException - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.

getMBeanDescriptor

Descriptor getMBeanDescriptor()
                              throws MBeanException,
                                     RuntimeOperationsException

Returns the ModelMBean's descriptor which contains MBean wide policies. This descriptor contains metadata about the MBean and default policies for persistence and caching.

The fields in the descriptor are defined, but not limited to, the following. Note that when the Type in this table is Number, a String that is the decimal representation of a Long can also be used.

Name	Type	Meaning
name	String	MBean name.
descriptorType	String	Must be "mbean".
displayName	String	Name of MBean to be used in displays.
persistPolicy	String	One of: OnUpdate|OnTimer|NoMoreOftenThan|OnUnregister|Always|Never. See the section "MBean Descriptor Fields" in the JMX specification document.
persistLocation	String	The fully qualified directory name where the MBean should be persisted (if appropriate).
persistFile	String	File name into which the MBean should be persisted.
persistPeriod	Number	Frequency of persist cycle in seconds, for OnTime and NoMoreOftenThan PersistPolicy
currencyTimeLimit	Number	How long cached value is valid: <0 never, =0 always, >0 seconds.
log	String	t: log all notifications, f: log no notifications.
logfile	String	Fully qualified filename to log events to.
visibility	Number	1-4 where 1: always visible 4: rarely visible.
export	String	Name to be used to export/expose this MBean so that it is findable by other JMX Agents.
presentationString	String	XML formatted string to allow presentation of data to be associated with the MBean.

The default descriptor is: name=className,descriptorType="mbean", displayName=className, persistPolicy="never",log="F",visibility="1" If the descriptor does not contain all these fields, they will be added with these default values.

Note: because of inconsistencies in previous versions of this specification, it is recommended not to use negative or zero values for currencyTimeLimit. To indicate that a cached value is never valid, omit the currencyTimeLimit field. To indicate that it is always valid, use a very large number for this field.

Returns:

the MBean descriptor.

Throws:

MBeanException - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.

RuntimeOperationsException - a RuntimeException occurred while getting the descriptor.

setMBeanDescriptor(javax.management.Descriptor)

setMBeanDescriptor

void setMBeanDescriptor(Descriptor inDescriptor)
                        throws MBeanException,
                               RuntimeOperationsException

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=className,descriptorType="mbean", displayName=className, persistPolicy="never",log="F",visibility="1" If the descriptor does not contain all these fields, they will be added with these default values. See getMBeanDescriptor method javadoc for description of valid field names.

Parameters:

inDescriptor - the descriptor to set.

Throws:

MBeanException - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.

RuntimeOperationsException - Wraps an IllegalArgumentException for invalid descriptor.

clone

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

getAttributes

MBeanAttributeInfo[] getAttributes()

Returns the list of attributes exposed for management. Each attribute is described by an MBeanAttributeInfo object.

Returns:

An array of MBeanAttributeInfo objects.

getClassName

String getClassName()

Returns the name of the Java class of the MBean described by this MBeanInfo.

Returns:

the Java class name.

getConstructors

MBeanConstructorInfo[] getConstructors()

getNotifications

MBeanNotificationInfo[] getNotifications()

Returns the list of the notifications emitted by the MBean. Each notification is described by an MBeanNotificationInfo object.

In addition to any notification specified by the application, a ModelMBean may always send also two additional notifications:

• One with descriptor name "GENERIC" and displayName "jmx.modelmbean.generic"
• Second is a standard attribute change notification with descriptor name "ATTRIBUTE_CHANGE" and displayName "jmx.attribute.change"

Thus any implementation of ModelMBeanInfo should always add those two notifications in addition to those specified by the application.

Returns:

An array of MBeanNotificationInfo objects.

getOperations

MBeanOperationInfo[] getOperations()

Returns the list of operations of the MBean. Each operation is described by an MBeanOperationInfo object.
