public interface Descriptor extends Serializable, Cloneable
Additional metadata for a JMX element. A
Descriptor
is associated with aMBeanInfo
,MBeanAttributeInfo
, etc. It consists of a collection of fields. A field is a name and an associated value.Field names are not case-sensitive. The names
descriptorType
,descriptortype
, andDESCRIPTORTYPE
are all equivalent. However, the case that was used when the field was first set is preserved in the result of thegetFields()
andgetFieldNames()
methods.Not all field names and values are predefined. New fields can be defined and added by any program.
A descriptor can be mutable or immutable. An immutable descriptor, once created, never changes. The
Descriptor
methods that could modify the contents of the descriptor will throw an exception for an immutable descriptor. Immutable descriptors are usually instances ofImmutableDescriptor
or a subclass. Mutable descriptors are usually instances ofDescriptorSupport
or a subclass.Certain fields are used by the JMX implementation. This means either that the presence of the field may change the behavior of the JMX API or that the field may be set in descriptors returned by the JMX API. These fields appear in italics in the table below, and each one has a corresponding constant in the
JMX
class. For example, the fielddefaultValue
is represented by the constantJMX.DEFAULT_VALUE_FIELD
.Certain other fields have conventional meanings described in the table below but they are not required to be understood or set by the JMX implementation.
Field names defined by the JMX specification in this and all future versions will never contain a period (.). Users can safely create their own fields by including a period in the name and be sure that these names will not collide with any future version of the JMX API. It is recommended to follow the Java package naming convention to avoid collisions between field names from different origins. For example, a field created by
example.com
might have the namecom.example.interestLevel
.Note that the values in the
defaultValue
,legalValues
,maxValue
, andminValue
fields should be consistent with the type returned by thegetType()
method for the associatedMBeanAttributeInfo
orMBeanParameterInfo
. For MXBeans, this means that they should be of the mapped Java type, called opendata(J) in the MXBean type mapping rules.Name Type Used in Meaning defaultValue Object MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanParameterInfoDefault value for an attribute or parameter. See javax.management.openmbean
.deprecated String Any An indication that this element of the information model is no longer recommended for use. A set of MBeans defined by an application is collectively called an information model. The convention is for the value of this field to contain a string that is the version of the model in which the element was first deprecated, followed by a space, followed by an explanation of the deprecation, for example "1.3 Replaced by the Capacity attribute"
.descriptionResource
BundleBaseNameString Any The base name for the ResourceBundle
in which the key given in thedescriptionResourceKey
field can be found, for example"com.example.myapp.MBeanResources"
. The meaning of this field is defined by this specification but the field is not set or used by the JMX API itself.descriptionResourceKey String Any A resource key for the description of this element. In conjunction with the descriptionResourceBundleBaseName
, this can be used to find a localized version of the description. The meaning of this field is defined by this specification but the field is not set or used by the JMX API itself.enabled String MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanNotificationInfo
MBeanOperationInfoThe string "true"
or"false"
according as this item is enabled. When an attribute or operation is not enabled, it exists but cannot currently be accessed. A user interface might present it as a greyed-out item. For example, an attribute might only be meaningful after thestart()
method of an MBean has been called, and is otherwise disabled. Likewise, a notification might be disabled if it cannot currently be emitted but could be in other circumstances.exceptions String[] MBeanAttributeInfo, MBeanConstructorInfo, MBeanOperationInfo The class names of the exceptions that can be thrown when invoking a constructor or operation, or getting an attribute. The meaning of this field is defined by this specification but the field is not set or used by the JMX API itself. Exceptions thrown when setting an attribute are specified by the field setExceptions
.immutableInfo String MBeanInfo The string "true"
or"false"
according as this MBean's MBeanInfo is immutable. When this field is true, the MBeanInfo for the given MBean is guaranteed not to change over the lifetime of the MBean. Hence, a client can read it once and cache the read value. When this field is false or absent, there is no such guarantee, although that does not mean that the MBeanInfo will necessarily change. See also the"jmx.mbean.info.changed"
notification.infoTimeout String
LongMBeanInfo The time in milli-seconds that the MBeanInfo can reasonably be expected to be unchanged. The value can be a Long
or a decimal string. This provides a hint from a DynamicMBean or any MBean that does not defineimmutableInfo
astrue
that the MBeanInfo is not likely to change within this period and therefore can be cached. When this field is missing or has the value zero, it is not recommended to cache the MBeanInfo unless it has theimmutableInfo
set totrue
or it has"jmx.mbean.info.changed"
in itsMBeanNotificationInfo
array.interfaceClassName String MBeanInfo The Java interface name for a Standard MBean or MXBean, as returned by Class.getName()
. A Standard MBean or MXBean registered directly in the MBean Server or created using theStandardMBean
class will have this field in its MBeanInfo Descriptor.legalValues Set<?> MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanParameterInfoLegal values for an attribute or parameter. See javax.management.openmbean
.locale String Any The locale of the description in this MBeanInfo
,MBeanAttributeInfo
, etc, as returned byLocale.toString()
.maxValue Object MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanParameterInfoMaximum legal value for an attribute or parameter. See javax.management.openmbean
.metricType String MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanOperationInfoThe type of a metric, one of the strings "counter" or "gauge". A metric is a measurement exported by an MBean, usually an attribute but sometimes the result of an operation. A metric that is a counter has a value that never decreases except by being reset to a starting value. Counter metrics are almost always non-negative integers. An example might be the number of requests received. A metric that is a gauge has a numeric value that can increase or decrease. Examples might be the number of open connections or a cache hit rate or a temperature reading. minValue Object MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanParameterInfoMinimum legal value for an attribute or parameter. See javax.management.openmbean
.mxbean String MBeanInfo The string "true"
or"false"
according as this MBean is anMXBean
. A Standard MBean or MXBean registered directly with the MBean Server or created using theStandardMBean
class will have this field in its MBeanInfo Descriptor.openType OpenType
MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanOperationInfo
MBeanParameterInfoThe Open Type of this element. In the case of
MBeanAttributeInfo
andMBeanParameterInfo
, this is the Open Type of the attribute or parameter. In the case ofMBeanOperationInfo
, it is the Open Type of the return value. This field is set in the Descriptor for all instances ofOpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport
,OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport
, andOpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport
. It is also set for attributes, operations, and parameters of MXBeans.This field can be set for an
MBeanNotificationInfo
, in which case it indicates the Open Type that theuser data
will have.originalType String MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanOperationInfo
MBeanParameterInfoThe original Java type of this element as it appeared in the
MXBean
interface method that produced thisMBeanAttributeInfo
(etc). For example, a method
public
MemoryUsage
getHeapMemoryUsage();
in an MXBean interface defines an attribute calledHeapMemoryUsage
of typeCompositeData
. TheoriginalType
field in the Descriptor for this attribute will have the value"java.lang.management.MemoryUsage"
.The format of this string is described in the section Type Names of the MXBean specification.
setExceptions String[] MBeanAttributeInfo The class names of the exceptions that can be thrown when setting an attribute. The meaning of this field is defined by this specification but the field is not set or used by the JMX API itself. Exceptions thrown when getting an attribute are specified by the field exceptions
.severity String
IntegerMBeanNotificationInfo The severity of this notification. It can be 0 to mean unknown severity or a value from 1 to 6 representing decreasing levels of severity. It can be represented as a decimal string or an Integer
.since String Any The version of the information model in which this element was introduced. A set of MBeans defined by an application is collectively called an information model. The application may also define versions of this model, and use the "since"
field to record the version in which an element first appeared.units String MBeanAttributeInfo
MBeanParameterInfo
MBeanOperationInfoThe units in which an attribute, parameter, or operation return value is measured, for example "bytes"
or"seconds"
.Some additional fields are defined by Model MBeans. See the information for
ModelMBeanInfo
,ModelMBeanAttributeInfo
,ModelMBeanConstructorInfo
,ModelMBeanNotificationInfo
, andModelMBeanOperationInfo
, as well as the chapter "Model MBeans" of the JMX Specification. The following table summarizes these fields. Note that when the Type in this table is Number, a String that is the decimal representation of a Long can also be used.Nothing prevents the use of these fields in MBeans that are not Model MBeans. The displayName, severity, and visibility fields are of interest outside Model MBeans, for example. But only Model MBeans have a predefined behavior for these fields.

Method Detail
-
getFieldValue
Object getFieldValue(String fieldName) throws RuntimeOperationsException
Returns the value for a specific field name, or null if no value is present for that name.- Parameters:
fieldName
- the field name.- Returns:
- the corresponding value, or null if the field is not present.
- Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException
- if the field name is illegal.
-
setField
void setField(String fieldName, Object fieldValue) throws RuntimeOperationsException
Sets the value for a specific field name. This will modify an existing field or add a new field.
The field value will be validated before it is set. If it is not valid, then an exception will be thrown. The meaning of validity is dependent on the descriptor implementation.
- Parameters:
fieldName
- The field name to be set. Cannot be null or empty.fieldValue
- The field value to be set for the field name. Can be null if that is a valid value for the field.- Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException
- if the field name or field value is illegal (wrapped exception isIllegalArgumentException
); or if the descriptor is immutable (wrapped exception isUnsupportedOperationException
).
-
getFields
String[] getFields()
Returns all of the fields contained in this descriptor as a string array.- Returns:
- String array of fields in the format fieldName=fieldValue
If the value of a field is not a String, then the toString() method will be called on it and the returned value, enclosed in parentheses, used as the value for the field in the returned array. If the value of a field is null, then the value of the field in the returned array will be empty. If the descriptor is empty, you will get an empty array. - See Also:
setFields(java.lang.String[], java.lang.Object[])
-
getFieldNames
String[] getFieldNames()
Returns all the field names in the descriptor.- Returns:
- String array of field names. If the descriptor is empty, you will get an empty array.
-
getFieldValues
Object[] getFieldValues(String... fieldNames)
Returns all the field values in the descriptor as an array of Objects. The returned values are in the same order as thefieldNames
String array parameter.- Parameters:
fieldNames
- String array of the names of the fields that the values should be returned for. If the array is empty then an empty array will be returned. If the array is null then all values will be returned, as if the parameter were the array returned bygetFieldNames()
. If a field name in the array does not exist, including the case where it is null or the empty string, then null is returned for the matching array element being returned.- Returns:
- Object array of field values. If the list of
fieldNames
is empty, you will get an empty array.
-
removeField
void removeField(String fieldName)
Removes a field from the descriptor.- Parameters:
fieldName
- String name of the field to be removed. If the field name is illegal or the field is not found, no exception is thrown.- Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException
- if a field of the given name exists and the descriptor is immutable. The wrapped exception will be anUnsupportedOperationException
.
-
setFields
void setFields(String[] fieldNames, Object[] fieldValues) throws RuntimeOperationsException
Sets all fields in the field names array to the new value with the same index in the field values array. Array sizes must match.
The field value will be validated before it is set. If it is not valid, then an exception will be thrown. If the arrays are empty, then no change will take effect.
- Parameters:
fieldNames
- String array of field names. The array and array elements cannot be null.fieldValues
- Object array of the corresponding field values. The array cannot be null. Elements of the array can be null.- Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException
- if the change fails for any reason. Wrapped exception isIllegalArgumentException
iffieldNames
orfieldValues
is null, or if the arrays are of different lengths, or if there is an illegal value in one of them. Wrapped exception isUnsupportedOperationException
if the descriptor is immutable, and the call would change its contents.- See Also:
getFields()
-
clone
Object clone() throws RuntimeOperationsException
Returns a descriptor which is equal to this descriptor. Changes to the returned descriptor will have no effect on this descriptor, and vice versa. If this descriptor is immutable, it may fulfill this condition by returning itself.
- Returns:
- A descriptor which is equal to this descriptor.
- Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException
- for illegal value for field names or field values. If the descriptor construction fails for any reason, this exception will be thrown.
-
isValid
boolean isValid() throws RuntimeOperationsException
Returns true if all of the fields have legal values given their names.- Returns:
- true if the values are legal.
- Throws:
RuntimeOperationsException
- If the validity checking fails for any reason, this exception will be thrown. The method returns false if the descriptor is not valid, but throws this exception if the attempt to determine validity fails.
-
equals
boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this descriptor to the given object. The objects are equal if the given object is also a Descriptor, and if the two Descriptors have the same field names (possibly differing in case) and the same associated values. The respective values for a field in the two Descriptors are equal if the following conditions hold:
- If one value is null then the other must be too.
- If one value is a primitive array then the other must be a primitive array of the same type with the same elements.
- If one value is an object array then the other must be too and
Arrays.deepEquals(Object[],Object[])
must return true. - Otherwise
Object.equals(Object)
must return true.
- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
obj
- the object to compare with.- Returns:
true
if the objects are the same;false
otherwise.- Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
Object.hashCode()
,HashMap
-
hashCode
int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this descriptor. The hash code is computed as the sum of the hash codes for each field in the descriptor. The hash code of a field with name
n
and valuev
isn.toLowerCase().hashCode() ^ h
. Hereh
is the hash code ofv
, computed as follows:- If
v
is null thenh
is 0. - If
v
is a primitive array thenh
is computed using the appropriate overloading ofjava.util.Arrays.hashCode
. - If
v
is an object array thenh
is computed usingArrays.deepHashCode(Object[])
. - Otherwise
h
isv.hashCode()
.
- Overrides:
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- A hash code value for this object.
