Interface Summary Interface Description CompositeData The CompositeData interface specifies the behavior of a specific type of complex open data objects which represent composite data structures.CompositeDataView A Java class can implement this interface to indicate how it is to be converted into aCompositeData
by the MXBean framework.OpenMBeanAttributeInfo Describes an attribute of an open MBean.OpenMBeanConstructorInfo Describes a constructor of an Open MBean.OpenMBeanInfo Describes an Open MBean: an Open MBean is recognized as such if itsgetMBeanInfo()
method returns an instance of a class which implements theOpenMBeanInfo
interface, typicallyOpenMBeanInfoSupport
.OpenMBeanOperationInfo Describes an operation of an Open MBean.OpenMBeanParameterInfo Describes a parameter used in one or more operations or constructors of an open MBean.TabularData The TabularData interface specifies the behavior of a specific type of complex open data objects which represent tabular data structures. -
Class Summary Class Description ArrayType<T> TheArrayType
class is the open type class whose instances describe all open data values which are n-dimensional arrays of open data values.CompositeDataInvocationHandler AnInvocationHandler
that forwards getter methods to aCompositeData
.CompositeDataSupport The CompositeDataSupport class is the open data class which implements the CompositeData interface.CompositeType TheCompositeType
class is the open type class whose instances describe the types ofCompositeData
values.OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport Describes an attribute of an open MBean.OpenMBeanConstructorInfoSupport Describes a constructor of an Open MBean.OpenMBeanInfoSupport TheOpenMBeanInfoSupport
class describes the management information of an open MBean: it is a subclass ofMBeanInfo
, and it implements theOpenMBeanInfo
interface.OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport Describes an operation of an Open MBean.OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport Describes a parameter used in one or more operations or constructors of an open MBean.OpenType<T> TheOpenType
class is the parent abstract class of all classes which describe the actual open type of open data values.SimpleType<T> TheSimpleType
class is the open type class whose instances describe all open data values which are neither arrays, norCompositeData
values, norTabularData
values.TabularDataSupport The TabularDataSupport class is the open data class which implements the TabularData and the Map interfaces, and which is internally based on a hash map data structure.TabularType TheTabularType
class is the open type class whose instances describe the types ofTabularData
values. -
Exception Summary Exception Description InvalidKeyException This runtime exception is thrown to indicate that a method parameter which was expected to be an item name of a composite data or a row index of a tabular data is not valid.InvalidOpenTypeException This runtime exception is thrown to indicate that the open type of an open data value is not the one expected.KeyAlreadyExistsException This runtime exception is thrown to indicate that the index of a row to be added to a tabular data instance is already used to refer to another row in this tabular data instance.OpenDataException This checked exception is thrown when an open type, an open data or an open MBean metadata info instance could not be constructed because one or more validity constraints were not met.
Package javax.management.openmbean Description
Provides the open data types and Open MBean descriptor classes. An Open MBean is an MBean where the types of attributes and of operation parameters and return values are built using a small set of predefined Java classes. Open MBeans facilitate operation with remote management programs that do not necessarily have access to application-specific types, including non-Java programs.
Every MBean has an MBeanInfo
with information about the MBean itself, and its attributes, operations, constructors, and notifications. In an Open MBean, this MBeanInfo
implements the OpenMBeanInfo
interface, usually by being an instance of OpenMBeanInfoSupport
.
The attribute information returned by MBeanInfo.getAttributes
for an Open MBean is an array of objects implementing OpenMBeanAttributeInfo
, usually instances of OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport
. In addition to the usual information about attributes, an OpenMBeanAttributeInfo
specifies the OpenType
of the attribute. The possible OpenType
values are predefined, which is what ensures that remote managers will understand them.
Similar remarks apply to the parameter types of operations and constructors, and to the return types of operations.
There is a distinction between an attribute's Java language type, as returned by getType()
, and its OpenType
, as returned by getOpenType()
. For example, if the Java language type is java.lang.String
, the OpenType
will be SimpleType.String
. If the Java language type is CompositeData
, the OpenType
will be a CompositeType
that describes the items in the CompositeData
instances for the attribute.
Default values and constraints
In Open MBeans, attributes and parameters can have default values and/or constraints associated with them in the OpenMBeanAttributeInfo
or OpenMBeanParameterInfo
. There are two ways to specify these constraints. Either the values are directly specified as parameters to one of the constructors of OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport
or OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport
, for example OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport.OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport( String, String, OpenType, Object, Object[])
; or the values are specified in a Descriptor
given as a parameter to one of the constructors.
When a Descriptor
is used, the fields of interest are these:
defaultValue
defines the value returned bygetDefaultValue()
;minValue
defines the value returned bygetMinValue()
;maxValue
defines the value returned bygetMaxValue()
;legalValues
defines the values returned bygetLegalValues()
.
For defaultValue
, minValue
, and maxValue
, the associated value must either be of the Java type corresponding to openType
, or be a string that can be converted into that type. The conversion uses the static method valueOf(String)
if it finds one; otherwise a constructor with a single String
parameter if it finds one; otherwise it fails.
For legalValues
, the associated value must be either an array or a Set
, and the elements of the array or set must be convertible as described for defaultValue
etc.
The following conditions must be met for these fields:
- the values must be of the appropriate type, or be strings that can be converted to the appropriate type as explained above;
- if
legalValues
is present then neitherminValue
normaxValue
must be present; - if
defaultValue
is present then it must satisfy the constraints defined bylegalValues
,minValue
, ormaxValue
when any of these is also present; - if
minValue
andmaxValue
are both present thenminValue
must not be greater thanmaxValue
.
