Chapter 1 contains an overview of JMX that introduces fundamental concepts and provides an overview of the JMX architecture. It also introduces the sample application we’ll use throughout the book, which demonstrates each MBean instrumentation approach. We’ll see how to build and run the application and how to use a web browser to monitor what’s going on inside it.
Chapter 2 covers how to create and use standard MBeans and discusses the inheritance patterns that they must follow. In this chapter, we will take a look at the fundamentals of a management interface and how to define one.
Chapter 3 looks at how dynamic MBeans work and the inheritance patterns you can use when creating them. It also shows how to describe a dynamic MBean using the metadata classes provided by the JMX specification.
Chapter 4 discusses how model MBeans work and how they differ from any other MBean type. It also shows how to describe model MBeans using the metadata classes specific to model MBeans.
Chapter 5 looks at how to describe fundamental and complex data types using the open MBean data types provided and the metadata classes specific to open MBeans.
Chapter 6 covers the MBean server from top to bottom. The MBean server’s API, its implementation, and details of how to use the MBean server to interact indirectly with MBeans are given thorough discussion.
Chapter 7 looks at the JMX notification model and the various interfaces and classes that are provided by the JMX Reference Implementation (RI). It also discusses how to write a notification listener, broadcaster, and filter.
Chapter 8 covers dynamic loading and how to use the M-Let service to load MBeans from anywhere on the network.
Chapter 9 deals with the monitoring services, which include counter, gauge, and string monitors.
Chapter 10 discusses the timer service, an agent service that can be used to create a scheduler or simply to send repeated notifications at a specific interval.
Chapter 11 covers the relation service and how to use it to enforce application policies regarding relationships between MBeans.
