Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:ManagementFactory [NONE]
public class ManagementFactory extends Object The `ManagementFactory` class is a factory class for getting managed beans for the Java platform. This class consists of static methods each of which returns one or more platform MXBeans representing the management interface of a component of the Java virtual machine. ## Platform MXBeans A platform MXBean is a managed bean that conforms to the JMX Instrumentation Specification and only uses a set of basic data types. A JMX management application and the platform MBeanServer can interoperate without requiring classes for MXBean specific data types. The data types being transmitted between the JMX connector server and the connector client are open types and this allows interoperation across versions. See the specification of MXBeans for details. Each platform MXBean is a `PlatformManagedObject` and it has a unique `ObjectName` for registration in the platform `MBeanServer` as returned by by the `getObjectName` method. An application can access a platform MXBean in the following ways: ### 1. Direct access to an MXBean interface Get an MXBean instance by calling the `getPlatformMXBean` or `getPlatformMXBeans` method and access the MXBean locally in the running virtual machine. Construct an MXBean proxy instance that forwards the method calls to a given `MBeanServer` by calling the `getPlatformMXBean(MBeanServerConnection, Class)` or `getPlatformMXBeans(MBeanServerConnection, Class)` method. The `newPlatformMXBeanProxy` method can also be used to construct an MXBean proxy instance of a given `ObjectName`. A proxy is typically constructed to remotely access an MXBean of another running virtual machine. ### 2. Indirect access to an MXBean interface via MBeanServer Go through the platform `MBeanServer` to access MXBeans locally or a specific `MBeanServerConnection` to access MXBeans remotely. The attributes and operations of an MXBean use only JMX open types which include basic data types, `CompositeData`, and `TabularData` defined in `OpenType`. The mapping is specified in the MXBean specification for details. The `getPlatformManagementInterfaces` method returns all management interfaces supported in the Java virtual machine including the standard management interfaces listed in the tables below as well as the management interfaces extended by the JDK implementation. A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the following management interfaces:

### method:getMemoryPoolMXBeans() [NONE]
### getMemoryPoolMXBeans public static List<MemoryPoolMXBean> getMemoryPoolMXBeans() Returns a list of `MemoryPoolMXBean` objects in the Java virtual machine. The Java virtual machine can have one or more memory pools. It may add or remove memory pools during execution. Returns: a list of `MemoryPoolMXBean` objects.

### method:getMemoryManagerMXBeans() [NONE]
### getMemoryManagerMXBeans public static List<MemoryManagerMXBean> getMemoryManagerMXBeans() Returns a list of `MemoryManagerMXBean` objects in the Java virtual machine.

### method:getPlatformMBeanServer() [NONE]
### getPlatformMBeanServer public static MBeanServer getPlatformMBeanServer() Returns the platform `MBeanServer`. On the first call to this method, it first creates the platform `MBeanServer` by calling the `MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer` method and registers each platform MXBean in this platform `MBeanServer` with its `ObjectName`. This method, in subsequent calls, will simply return the initially created platform `MBeanServer`. MXBeans that get created and destroyed dynamically, for example, memory `pools` and `managers`, will automatically be registered and deregistered into the platform `MBeanServer`. If the system property `javax.management.builder.initial` is set, the platform `MBeanServer` creation will be done by the specified `MBeanServerBuilder`. It is recommended that this platform MBeanServer also be used to register other application managed beans besides the platform MXBeans. This will allow all MBeans to be published through the same `MBeanServer` and hence allow for easier network publishing and discovery. Name conflicts with the platform MXBeans should be avoided. Returns: the platform `MBeanServer`; the platform MXBeans are registered into the platform `MBeanServer` at the first time this method is called. Throws: `SecurityException` - if there is a security manager and the caller does not have the permission required by `MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer()`. See Also: `MBeanServerFactory` `MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer()`

### method:newPlatformMXBeanProxy(javax.management.MBeanServerConnection,java.lang.String,java.lang.Class) [NONE]
### newPlatformMXBeanProxy public static <T> T newPlatformMXBeanProxy (MBeanServerConnection connection, String mxbeanName, Class<T> mxbeanInterface) throws IOException Returns a proxy for a platform MXBean interface of a given MXBean name that forwards its method calls through the given `MBeanServerConnection`. This method is equivalent to: `Proxy.newProxyInstance``(mxbeanInterface.getClassLoader(), new Class[] { mxbeanInterface }, handler)` where `handler` is an `InvocationHandler` to which method invocations to the MXBean interface are dispatched. This `handler` converts an input parameter from an MXBean data type to its mapped open type before forwarding to the `MBeanServer` and converts a return value from an MXBean method call through the `MBeanServer` from an open type to the corresponding return type declared in the MXBean interface. If the MXBean is a notification emitter (i.e., it implements `NotificationEmitter`), both the `mxbeanInterface` and `NotificationEmitter` will be implemented by this proxy. Notes: Using an MXBean proxy is a convenience remote access to a platform MXBean of a running virtual machine. All method calls to the MXBean proxy are forwarded to an `MBeanServerConnection` where `IOException` may be thrown when the communication problem occurs with the connector server. If thrown, `IOException` will be wrappped in `UndeclaredThrowableException`. An application remotely accessing the platform MXBeans using proxy should prepare to catch `UndeclaredThrowableException` and handle its cause as if that cause had been thrown by the `MBeanServerConnection` interface. When a client application is designed to remotely access MXBeans for a running virtual machine whose version is different than the version on which the application is running, it should prepare to catch `InvalidObjectException` which is thrown when an MXBean proxy receives a name of an enum constant which is missing in the enum class loaded in the client application. If thrown, `InvalidObjectException` will be wrappped in `UndeclaredThrowableException`. `MBeanServerInvocationHandler` or its `newProxyInstance` method cannot be used to create a proxy for a platform MXBean. The proxy object created by `MBeanServerInvocationHandler` does not handle the properties of the platform MXBeans described in the class specification . Type Parameters: `T` - an `mxbeanInterface` type parameter Parameters: `connection` - the `MBeanServerConnection` to forward to. `mxbeanName` - the name of a platform MXBean within `connection` to forward to. `mxbeanName` must be in the format of `ObjectName`. `mxbeanInterface` - the MXBean interface to be implemented by the proxy. Returns: a proxy for a platform MXBean interface of a given MXBean name that forwards its method calls through the given `MBeanServerConnection`, or `null` if not exist. Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if `mxbeanName` is not with a valid `ObjectName` format, or the named MXBean in the `connection` is not a MXBean provided by the platform, or the named MXBean is not registered in the `MBeanServerConnection`, or the named MXBean is not an instance of the given `mxbeanInterface` `IOException` - if a communication problem occurred when accessing the `MBeanServerConnection`.

### method:getPlatformMXBean(java.lang.Class) [NONE]
### getPlatformMXBean public static <T extends PlatformManagedObject> T getPlatformMXBean (Class<T> mxbeanInterface) Returns the platform MXBean implementing the given `mxbeanInterface` which is specified to have one single instance in the Java virtual machine. This method may return `null` if the management interface is not implemented in the Java virtual machine (for example, a Java virtual machine with no compilation system does not implement `CompilationMXBean`); otherwise, this method is equivalent to calling:
    getPlatformMXBeans(mxbeanInterface).get(0);
Type Parameters: `T` - an `mxbeanInterface` type parameter Parameters: `mxbeanInterface` - a management interface for a platform MXBean with one single instance in the Java virtual machine if implemented. Returns: the platform MXBean that implements `mxbeanInterface`, or `null` if not exist. Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if `mxbeanInterface` is not a platform management interface or not a singleton platform MXBean. Since: 1.7

### method:getPlatformMXBeans(java.lang.Class) [NONE]
### getPlatformMXBeans public static <T extends PlatformManagedObject> List<T> getPlatformMXBeans (Class<T> mxbeanInterface) Returns the list of platform MXBeans implementing the given `mxbeanInterface` in the Java virtual machine. The returned list may contain zero, one, or more instances. The number of instances in the returned list is defined in the specification of the given management interface. The order is undefined and there is no guarantee that the list returned is in the same order as previous invocations. Type Parameters: `T` - an `mxbeanInterface` type parameter Parameters: `mxbeanInterface` - a management interface for a platform MXBean Returns: the list of platform MXBeans that implement `mxbeanInterface`. Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if `mxbeanInterface` is not a platform management interface. Since: 1.7

### getPlatformMXBean public static <T extends PlatformManagedObject> T getPlatformMXBean (MBeanServerConnection connection, Class<T> mxbeanInterface) throws IOException Returns the platform MXBean proxy for `mxbeanInterface` which is specified to have one single instance in a Java virtual machine and the proxy will forward the method calls through the given `MBeanServerConnection`. This method may return `null` if the management interface is not implemented in the Java virtual machine being monitored (for example, a Java virtual machine with no compilation system does not implement `CompilationMXBean`); otherwise, this method is equivalent to calling:
    getPlatformMXBeans(connection, mxbeanInterface).get(0);
Type Parameters: `T` - an `mxbeanInterface` type parameter Parameters: `connection` - the `MBeanServerConnection` to forward to. `mxbeanInterface` - a management interface for a platform MXBean with one single instance in the Java virtual machine being monitored, if implemented. Returns: the platform MXBean proxy for forwarding the method calls of the `mxbeanInterface` through the given `MBeanServerConnection`, or `null` if not exist. Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if `mxbeanInterface` is not a platform management interface or not a singleton platform MXBean. `IOException` - if a communication problem occurred when accessing the `MBeanServerConnection`.
