Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:MBeanServer [NONE]
All Superinterfaces: `MBeanServerConnection` All Known Subinterfaces: `MBeanServerForwarder` public interface MBeanServer extends MBeanServerConnection This is the interface for MBean manipulation on the agent side. It contains the methods necessary for the creation, registration, and deletion of MBeans as well as the access methods for registered MBeans. This is the core component of the JMX infrastructure. User code does not usually implement this interface. Instead, an object that implements this interface is obtained with one of the methods in the `MBeanServerFactory` class. Every MBean which is added to the MBean server becomes manageable: its attributes and operations become remotely accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBean server. A Java object cannot be registered in the MBean server unless it is a JMX compliant MBean. When an MBean is registered or unregistered in the MBean server a `MBeanServerNotification` Notification is emitted. To register an object as listener to MBeanServerNotifications you should call the MBean server method `addNotificationListener` with `ObjectName` the `ObjectName` of the `MBeanServerDelegate`. This `ObjectName` is: `JMImplementation:type=MBeanServerDelegate`. Methods of `MBeanServer` and its subclasses may throw `SecurityException` if the implementation doesn't authorize access to the underlying resource. Since: 1.5

### method:createMBean(java.lang.String,javax.management.ObjectName) [NONE]
### createMBean ObjectInstance createMBean (String className, ObjectName name) throws ReflectionException, InstanceAlreadyExistsException, MBeanRegistrationException, MBeanException, NotCompliantMBeanException Instantiates and registers an MBean in the MBean server. The MBean server will use its `Default Loader Repository` to load the class of the MBean. An object name is associated with the MBean. If the object name given is null, the MBean must provide its own name by implementing the `MBeanRegistration` interface and returning the name from the `preRegister` method. This method is equivalent to `createMBean(className, name, (Object[]) null, (String[]) null)` . If this method successfully creates an MBean, a notification is sent as described above. Specified by: `createMBean` in interface `MBeanServerConnection` Parameters: `className` - The class name of the MBean to be instantiated. `name` - The object name of the MBean. May be null. Returns: An `ObjectInstance`, containing the `ObjectName` and the Java class name of the newly instantiated MBean. If the contained `ObjectName` is `n`, the contained Java class name is ``getMBeanInfo(n)`.getClassName()`. Throws: `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps a `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`: The className passed in parameter is null, the `ObjectName` passed in parameter contains a pattern or no `ObjectName` is specified for the MBean. `RuntimeMBeanException` - If the MBean's constructor or its `preRegister` or `postRegister` method threw a `RuntimeException`. If the `postRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean throws a `RuntimeException`, the `createMBean` method will throw a `RuntimeMBeanException`, although the MBean creation and registration succeeded. In such a case, the MBean will be actually registered even though the `createMBean` method threw an exception. Note that `RuntimeMBeanException` can also be thrown by `preRegister`, in which case the MBean will not be registered. `RuntimeErrorException` - If the `postRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean throws an `Error`, the `createMBean` method will throw a `RuntimeErrorException`, although the MBean creation and registration succeeded. In such a case, the MBean will be actually registered even though the `createMBean` method threw an exception. Note that `RuntimeErrorException` can also be thrown by `preRegister`, in which case the MBean will not be registered. `ReflectionException` - Wraps a `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException` or a `java.lang.Exception` that occurred when trying to invoke the MBean's constructor. `InstanceAlreadyExistsException` - The MBean is already under the control of the MBean server. `MBeanRegistrationException` - The `preRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean has thrown an exception. The MBean will not be registered. `MBeanException` - The constructor of the MBean has thrown an exception `NotCompliantMBeanException` - This class is not a JMX compliant MBean See Also: `MBeanRegistration`

### method:createMBean(java.lang.String,javax.management.ObjectName,javax.management.ObjectName) [NONE]
### createMBean ObjectInstance createMBean (String className, ObjectName name, ObjectName loaderName) throws ReflectionException, InstanceAlreadyExistsException, MBeanRegistrationException, MBeanException, NotCompliantMBeanException, InstanceNotFoundException Instantiates and registers an MBean in the MBean server. The class loader to be used is identified by its object name. An object name is associated with the MBean. If the object name of the loader is null, the ClassLoader that loaded the MBean server will be used. If the MBean's object name given is null, the MBean must provide its own name by implementing the `MBeanRegistration` interface and returning the name from the `preRegister` method. This method is equivalent to `createMBean(className, name, loaderName, (Object[]) null, (String[]) null)` . If this method successfully creates an MBean, a notification is sent as described above. Specified by: `createMBean` in interface `MBeanServerConnection` Parameters: `className` - The class name of the MBean to be instantiated. `name` - The object name of the MBean. May be null. `loaderName` - The object name of the class loader to be used. Returns: An `ObjectInstance`, containing the `ObjectName` and the Java class name of the newly instantiated MBean.

Throws: `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps a `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`: The className passed in parameter is null, the `ObjectName` passed in parameter contains a pattern or no `ObjectName` is specified for the MBean. `RuntimeMBeanException` - If the MBean's constructor or its `preRegister` or `postRegister` method threw a `RuntimeException`. If the `postRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean throws a `RuntimeException`, the `createMBean` method will throw a `RuntimeMBeanException`, although the MBean creation and registration succeeded. In such a case, the MBean will be actually registered even though the `createMBean` method threw an exception. Note that `RuntimeMBeanException` can also be thrown by `preRegister`, in which case the MBean will not be registered. `RuntimeErrorException` - If the `postRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean throws an `Error`, the `createMBean` method will throw a `RuntimeErrorException`, although the MBean creation and registration succeeded. In such a case, the MBean will be actually registered even though the `createMBean` method threw an exception. Note that `RuntimeErrorException` can also be thrown by `preRegister`, in which case the MBean will not be registered. `ReflectionException` - Wraps a `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException` or a `java.lang.Exception` that occurred when trying to invoke the MBean's constructor. `InstanceAlreadyExistsException` - The MBean is already under the control of the MBean server. `MBeanRegistrationException` - The `preRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean has thrown an exception. The MBean will not be registered. `MBeanException` - The constructor of the MBean has thrown an exception `NotCompliantMBeanException` - This class is not a JMX compliant MBean `InstanceNotFoundException` - The specified class loader is not registered in the MBean server.

The MBean is identified by its object name. If one or more attributes cannot be retrieved for some reason, they will be omitted from the returned `AttributeList`. The caller should check that the list is the same size as the `attributes` array. To discover what problem prevented a given attribute from being retrieved, call `getAttribute` for that attribute. Here is an example of calling this method and checking that it succeeded in retrieving all the requested attributes:
                                                                                                            String[] attrNames = ...;
    AttributeList list = mbeanServerConnection.getAttributes(objectName, attrNames);
    if (list.size() == attrNames.length)
        System.out.println("All attributes were retrieved successfully");
    else {
        List<String> missing = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(attrNames));
        for (Attribute a : list.asList())
            missing.remove(a.getName());
        System.out.println("Did not retrieve: " + missing);
    }
Specified by: `getAttributes` in interface `MBeanServerConnection` Parameters: `name` - The object name of the MBean from which the attributes are retrieved. `attributes` - A list of the attributes to be retrieved. Returns: The list of the retrieved attributes. Throws: `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wrap a `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`: The object name in parameter is null or attributes in parameter is null. `InstanceNotFoundException` - The MBean specified is not registered in the MBean server. `ReflectionException` - An exception occurred when trying to invoke the getAttributes method of a Dynamic MBean. See Also: `MBeanServerConnection.setAttributes(ObjectName, AttributeList)`

### method:setAttribute(javax.management.ObjectName,javax.management.Attribute) [NONE]
### setAttribute void setAttribute (ObjectName name, Attribute attribute) throws InstanceNotFoundException, AttributeNotFoundException, InvalidAttributeValueException, MBeanException, ReflectionException Description copied from interface: `MBeanServerConnection` Sets the value of a specific attribute of a named MBean.

See Also: `MBeanServerConnection.getAttribute(ObjectName, String)`

### method:setAttributes(javax.management.ObjectName,javax.management.AttributeList) [NONE]
### setAttributes AttributeList setAttributes (ObjectName name, AttributeList attributes) throws InstanceNotFoundException, ReflectionException Description copied from interface: `MBeanServerConnection` Sets the values of several attributes of a named MBean. The MBean is identified by its object name. If one or more attributes cannot be set for some reason, they will be omitted from the returned `AttributeList`. The caller should check that the input `AttributeList` is the same size as the output one. To discover what problem prevented a given attribute from being retrieved, it will usually be possible to call `setAttribute` for that attribute, although this is not guaranteed to work. (For example, the values of two attributes may have been rejected because they were inconsistent with each other. Setting one of them alone might be allowed.) Here is an example of calling this method and checking that it succeeded in setting all the requested attributes:
                                                                                                            AttributeList inputAttrs = ...;
    AttributeList outputAttrs = mbeanServerConnection.setAttributes(objectName, inputAttrs);
    if (inputAttrs.size() == outputAttrs.size())
        System.out.println("All attributes were set successfully");
    else {
        List<String> missing = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (Attribute a : inputAttrs.asList())
            missing.add(a.getName());
        for (Attribute a : outputAttrs.asList())
            missing.remove(a.getName());
        System.out.println("Did not set: " + missing);
    }
Specified by: `setAttributes` in interface `MBeanServerConnection` Parameters: `name` - The object name of the MBean within which the attributes are to be set. `attributes` - A list of attributes: The identification of the attributes to be set and the values they are to be set to. Returns: The list of attributes that were set, with their new values. Throws: `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps a `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`: The object name in parameter is null or attributes in parameter is null. `InstanceNotFoundException` - The MBean specified is not registered in the MBean server. `ReflectionException` - An exception occurred when trying to invoke the getAttributes method of a Dynamic MBean. See Also: `MBeanServerConnection.getAttributes(ObjectName, String[])`

### method:invoke(javax.management.ObjectName,java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[],java.lang.String[]) [NONE]
### invoke Object invoke (ObjectName name, String operationName, Object[] params, String[] signature) throws InstanceNotFoundException, MBeanException, ReflectionException Description copied from interface: `MBeanServerConnection` Invokes an operation on an MBean. Because of the need for a `signature` to differentiate possibly-overloaded operations, it is much simpler to invoke operations through an MBean proxy where possible. For example, suppose you have a Standard MBean interface like this:
    public interface FooMBean {
        public int countMatches(String[] patterns, boolean ignoreCase);
    }
The `countMatches` operation can be invoked as follows:
    String[] myPatterns = ...;
    int count = (Integer) mbeanServerConnection.invoke(
            objectName,
            "countMatches",
            new Object[] {myPatterns, true},
            new String[] {String[].class.getName(), boolean.class.getName()});
Alternatively, it can be invoked through a proxy as follows:
    String[] myPatterns = ...;
    FooMBean fooProxy = JMX.newMBeanProxy(
            mbeanServerConnection, objectName, FooMBean.class);
    int count = fooProxy.countMatches(myPatterns, true);
Specified by: `invoke` in interface `MBeanServerConnection` Parameters: `name` - The object name of the MBean on which the method is to be invoked. `operationName` - The name of the operation to be invoked. `params` - An array containing the parameters to be set when the operation is invoked `signature` - An array containing the signature of the operation, an array of class names in the format returned by `Class.getName()`. The class objects will be loaded using the same class loader as the one used for loading the MBean on which the operation was invoked. Returns: The object returned by the operation, which represents the result of invoking the operation on the MBean specified. Throws: `InstanceNotFoundException` - The MBean specified is not registered in the MBean server. `MBeanException` - Wraps an exception thrown by the MBean's invoked method. `ReflectionException` - Wraps a `java.lang.Exception` thrown while trying to invoke the method.

### method:getDefaultDomain() [NONE]
### getDefaultDomain String getDefaultDomain() Description copied from interface: `MBeanServerConnection` Returns the default domain used for naming the MBean. The default domain name is used as the domain part in the ObjectName of MBeans if no domain is specified by the user. Specified by: `getDefaultDomain` in interface `MBeanServerConnection` Returns: the default domain.

### method:getDomains() [NONE]
### getDomains String[] getDomains() Description copied from interface: `MBeanServerConnection` Returns the list of domains in which any MBean is currently registered.
