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 MXBean(s) representing the management interface of a component of the Java virtual machine.

An application can access a platform MXBean in the following ways:

  • Direct access to an MXBean interface
    1. Get the MXBean instance through the static factory method and access the MXBean locally of the running virtual machine.
    2. Construct an MXBean proxy instance that forwards the method calls to a given MBeanServer by calling newPlatfromMXBeanProxy. A proxy is typically constructed to remotely access an MXBean of another running virtual machine.
  • Indirect access to an MXBean interface via MBeanServer
    1. 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 below.

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 described below. See the specification of MXBeans for details. 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.

The platform MXBean interfaces use only the following data types:

  • Primitive types such as int, long, boolean, etc
  • Wrapper classes for primitive types such as Integer, Long, Boolean, etc and String
  • Enum classes
  • Classes that define only getter methods and define a static from method with a CompositeData argument to convert from an input CompositeData to an instance of that class
  • List<E> where E is a primitive type, a wrapper class, an enum class, or a class supporting conversion from a CompositeData to its class
  • Map<K,V> where K and V are a primitive type, a wrapper class, an enum class, or a class supporting conversion from a CompositeData to its class

When an attribute or operation of a platform MXBean is accessed via an MBeanServer, the data types are mapped as follows:

  • A primitive type or a wrapper class is mapped to the same type.
  • An Enum is mapped to String whose value is the name of the enum constant.
  • A class that defines only getter methods and a static from method with a CompositeData argument is mapped to CompositeData.
  • Map<K,V> is mapped to TabularData whose row type is a CompositeType with two items whose names are "key" and "value" and the item types are the corresponding mapped type of K and V respectively and the "key" is the index.
  • List<E> is mapped to an array with the mapped type of E as the element type.
  • An array of element type E is mapped to an array of the same dimenions with the mapped type of E as the element type.
The MBeanInfo for a platform MXBean describes the data types of the attributes and operations as primitive or open types mapped as specified above.

For example, the MemoryMXBean interface has the following getter and setter methods:

public MemoryUsage getHeapMemoryUsage();
public boolean isVerbose();
public void setVerbose(boolean value);
These attributes in the MBeanInfo of the MemoryMXBean have the following names and types:
Attribute Name Type
HeapMemoryUsage CompositeData representing MemoryUsage
Verbose boolean

MXBean Names

Each platform MXBean for a Java virtual machine has a unique ObjectName for registration in the platform MBeanServer. A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the following management interfaces:
Management Interface ObjectName
ClassLoadingMXBean java.lang:type=ClassLoading
MemoryMXBean java.lang:type=Memory
ThreadMXBean java.lang:type=Threading
RuntimeMXBean java.lang:type=Runtime
OperatingSystemMXBean java.lang:type=OperatingSystem

A Java virtual machine has zero or a single instance of the following management interfaces.

Management Interface ObjectName
CompilationMXBean java.lang:type=Compilation

A Java virtual machine may have one or more instances of the following management interfaces.

Management Interface ObjectName
GarbageCollectorMXBean java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=collector's name
MemoryManagerMXBean java.lang:type=MemoryManager,name=manager's name
MemoryPoolMXBean java.lang:type=MemoryPool,name=pool's name

Returns the platform MBeanServer.

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 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:

  1. 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. An application remotely accesses the platform MXBeans using proxy should prepare to catch IOException as if accessing with the MBeanServerConnector interface.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
Params:
  • 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.
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.
