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.


An object obtained from the createMBeanServer or newMBeanServer methods of the MBeanServerFactory class applies security checks to its methods, as follows.


First, if there is no security manager (System.getSecurityManager() is null), then an implementation of this interface is free not to make any checks.


Assuming that there is a security manager, or that the implementation chooses to make checks anyway, the checks are made as detailed below. In what follows, and unless otherwise specified, className is the string returned by MBeanInfo.getClassName() for the target MBean.


If a security check fails, the method throws SecurityException.


For methods that can throw InstanceNotFoundException, this exception is thrown for a non-existent MBean, regardless of permissions. This is because a non-existent MBean has no className.

Registers a pre-existing object as an MBean with the MBean server. 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. 
If this method successfully registers an MBean, a notification
is sent as described above.


Params:
  • object – The  MBean to be registered as an MBean.
  • name – The object name of the MBean. May be null.
Throws:
  • 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.
  • RuntimeMBeanException – If the postRegister
(MBeanRegistration interface) method of the MBean throws a
RuntimeException, the registerMBean method will
throw a RuntimeMBeanException, although the MBean
registration succeeded. In such a case, the MBean will be actually
registered even though the registerMBean 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 registerMBean method will
throw a RuntimeErrorException, although the MBean
registration succeeded. In such a case, the MBean will be actually
registered even though the registerMBean method
threw an exception.  Note that RuntimeErrorException can
also be thrown by preRegister, in which case the MBean
will not be registered.
  • NotCompliantMBeanException – This object is not a JMX
compliant MBean
  • RuntimeOperationsException – Wraps a
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The object
passed in parameter is null or no object name is specified.

Instantiates an object using the list of all class loaders registered in the MBean server's Class Loader
Repository. The object's class should have a public constructor. This method returns a reference to the newly created object. The newly created object is not registered in the MBean server.


This method is equivalent to 
instantiate(className, (Object[]) null, (String[]) null).


Params:

invoke the object's constructor.
  • MBeanException – The constructor of the object has
thrown an exception
  • RuntimeOperationsException – Wraps a
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The className
passed in parameter is null.
Returns:The newly instantiated object.
