What Is Jmx Used For

Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a Java technology that supplies tools for managing and monitoring applications, system objects, devices (such as printers) and service-oriented networks. Those resources are represented by objects called MBeans (for Managed Bean).

What is an MBean server?

An MBean server is a repository of MBeans that provides management applications access to MBeans. Applications do not access MBeans directly, but instead access them through the MBean server via their unique ObjectName. An MBean server implements the interface javax. management.

What is an MBean attribute?

Attributes are conceptual variables that are exposed for management through getter and setter methods in the MBean interface: A getter is any public method whose name begins with get and which does not return void; it enables a manager to read the value of the attribute, whose type is that of the returned object.
