• getDescriptor

  Descriptor getDescriptor(String inDescriptorName,
                         String inDescriptorType)
                           throws MBeanException,
                                  RuntimeOperationsException

  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.

  RuntimeOperationsException - Wraps an IllegalArgumentException for a null descriptor name or null or invalid type. The type must be "mbean","attribute", "constructor", "operation", or "notification".

• setDescriptor

  void setDescriptor(Descriptor inDescriptor,
                   String inDescriptorType)
                     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

  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.

  Creates and returns a copy of this object.

• getAttributes

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

  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()

  the description.

  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.
