Interface MBeanServer

All Superinterfaces:
MBeanServerConnection

public interface MBeanServer
extends MBeanServerConnection

This interface represents a server for management beans, providing facilities for the creation, registration and removal of such beans. This interface is central to the Java management architecture. Users do not usually implement this class. Instead, implementations of this class may be obtained using an MBeanServerFactory.

Registering a bean with the server makes its attributes and operations accessible via the server. Only JMX compliant beans may be registered with the server. When a bean is registered or unregistered, an MBeanServerNotification is emitted by the server's MBeanServerDelegate. Listeners may be registered with this bean in order to obtain such notifications. It has the ObjectName JMImplementation:type=MBeanServerDelegate.

Security checks are applied on the methods of the server, as detailed below, if it is obtained using the MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer() or MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer() methods and System.getSecurityManager() returns a non-null value. If a check fails, a SecurityException is thrown. Note than the class name used in the exception is that of the bean, and thus, as a result, an InstanceNotFoundException precludes these security checks, due to the class name that would be used in the exception being unavailable.

Method Details

addNotificationListener

public void addNotificationListener(ObjectName name,
                                    NotificationListener listener,
                                    NotificationFilter filter,
                                    Object passback)
            throws InstanceNotFoundException
Registers the supplied listener with the specified management bean. Notifications emitted by the management bean are forwarded to the listener via the server, which will convert any MBean references in the source to portable ObjectName instances. The notification is otherwise unchanged.
Specified by:
addNotificationListener in interface MBeanServerConnection
Parameters:
name - the name of the management bean with which the listener should be registered.
listener - the listener which will handle notifications from the bean.
filter - the filter to apply to incoming notifications, or null if no filtering should be applied.
passback - an object to be passed to the listener when a notification is emitted.
Throws:
InstanceNotFoundException - if the name of the management bean could not be resolved.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller's permissions don't imply MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "addNotificationListener").

addNotificationListener

public void addNotificationListener(ObjectName name,
                                    ObjectName listener,
                                    NotificationFilter filter,
                                    Object passback)
            throws InstanceNotFoundException
Registers the supplied listener with the specified management bean. Notifications emitted by the management bean are forwarded to the listener via the server, which will convert any MBean references in the source to portable ObjectName instances. The notification is otherwise unchanged.

The listener that receives notifications will be the one that is registered with the given name at the time this method is called. Even if it later unregisters and ceases to use that name, it will still receive notifications.

Specified by:
addNotificationListener in interface MBeanServerConnection
Parameters:
name - the name of the management bean with which the listener should be registered.
listener - the name of the listener which will handle notifications from the bean.
filter - the filter to apply to incoming notifications, or null if no filtering should be applied.
passback - an object to be passed to the listener when a notification is emitted.
Throws:
InstanceNotFoundException - if the name of the management bean could not be resolved.
RuntimeOperationsException - if the bean associated with the given object name is not a NotificationListener. This exception wraps an IllegalArgumentException.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller's permissions don't imply MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "addNotificationListener").

MBeanException - if the bean's constructor throws an exception.
NotCompliantMBeanException - if the created bean is not compliant with the JMX specification.
RuntimeOperationsException - if an IllegalArgumentException is thrown by the server due to a null class name or object name or if the object name is a pattern.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller's permissions don't imply the use of the instantiate and registerMBean methods.

Returns:
an instance of the given class.
Throws:
ReflectionException - if an exception is thrown during loading the class or calling the constructor.
MBeanException - if the constructor throws an exception.
RuntimeOperationsException - if an IllegalArgumentException is thrown by the server due to a null name.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller's permissions don't imply MBeanPermission(className, null, null, "instantiate").

instantiate

public Object instantiate(String name,
                          ObjectName loaderName)
            throws InstanceNotFoundException,
                   ReflectionException,
                   MBeanException
Creates an instance of the specified class using the supplied class loader. If the class loader given is null, then the class loader of the server will be used. The class should have a public constructor with no arguments. A reference to the new instance is returned, but the instance is not yet registered with the server.

This method is equivalent to calling instantiate(name, loaderName, (Object[]) null, (String[]) null) with null parameters and signature.

Parameters:
name - the name of the class of bean to be instantiated.
loaderName - the name of the class loader to use.
Returns:
an instance of the given class.
Throws:
InstanceNotFoundException - if the class loader is not registered with the server.
ReflectionException - if an exception is thrown during loading the class or calling the constructor.
MBeanException - if the constructor throws an exception.
RuntimeOperationsException - if an IllegalArgumentException is thrown by the server due to a null name.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller's permissions don't imply MBeanPermission(className, null, null, "instantiate").

instantiate

public Object instantiate(String name,
                          ObjectName loaderName,
                          Object[] params,
                          String[] sig)
            throws InstanceNotFoundException,
                   ReflectionException,
                   MBeanException
Creates an instance of the specified class using the supplied class loader. If the class loader given is null, then the class loader of the server will be used. The class should have a public constructor matching the supplied signature. A reference to the new instance is returned, but the instance is not yet registered with the server.
Parameters:
name - the name of the class of bean to be instantiated.
loaderName - the name of the class loader to use.
params - the parameters for the constructor.
sig - the signature of the constructor.
Returns:
an instance of the given class.
Throws:
InstanceNotFoundException - if the class loader is not registered with the server.
ReflectionException - if an exception is thrown during loading the class or calling the constructor.
MBeanException - if the constructor throws an exception.
RuntimeOperationsException - if an IllegalArgumentException is thrown by the server due to a null name.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller's permissions don't imply MBeanPermission(className, null, null, "instantiate").

invoke

public Object invoke(ObjectName bean,
                     String name,
                     Object[] params,
                     String[] sig)
            throws InstanceNotFoundException,
                   MBeanException,
                   ReflectionException
Invokes the supplied operation on the specified management bean. The class objects specified in the signature are loaded using the same class loader as was used for the management bean.

invoke in interface MBeanServerConnection
