Synopsis

Every developer who has deployed a mission critical application knows it is not enough just to write great code; to be truly useful, critical applications must be manageable as well. JMX is a tool with which to instrument and manage software products. It will soon be a standard part of the J2EE specification and is also being accepted by the telephony industry for key specifications. The probability that developers will encounter JMX in one form or another is very high. A copy of this book will dramatically reduce a developer's JMX learning curve, giving them the foundation and technical details needed to make effective use of JMX wherever they find it. Comprehensive coverage includes two chapters of introduction to JMX, seven chapters of practical instrumentation examples and advice, including how to relate security to JMX, and two chapters positioning JMX as a fundamental technology for J2EE and Web services. Readers can use this book as both an introduction to JMX and as a frequent desktop reference.

From the Back Cover

Java is now used with increasing frequency to develop mission-critical applications. Using Java Management Extensions (JMX) is the key to managing those applications. As JMX is increasingly accepted into the fields of embedded systems, enterprise systems, and telephony, it is clear that all Java developers will encounter JMX before long.

Java™ and JMX: Building Manageable Systems is the definitive guide to JMX, combining an introduction to the technology with extensive coverage that will make this book a favorite reference. Much more than just an explanation of the JMX specifications, this book can drastically reduce a reader's JMX learning curve by explaining how to develop management requirements and apply JMX to them. The book's coverage includes:

• A management primer for Java programmers and architects
• A historical perspective on the evolution of JMX and its relation to other management standards, including SNMP, CIM/WBEM, TMN, and CMIP
• Development of JMX Manageable Resources with Standard and Dynamic MBeans
• Development with Model MBeans as customizable generic instrumentation using both the JMX APIs and XML files
• MBeanServer, including the MBean registry and object naming scheme, the generic MBean interface, and the query mechanism
• JMX Monitors and Notifications
• MBeanServer Services including the timer, relationship, and dynamic loading, along with custom services for XML services, HTTP adapters, RMI connectors, and security exposures and permissions
• JMX best practices, including deployment patterns, instrumentation patterns, federation patterns, and best practices
• JMX integration into J2EE and the JSR077 management models in J2EE 1.4
• Using JMX to manage Web services from the perspective of service providers, registry providers, and users

Written with an unparalleled degree of in-the-trenches familiarity and full of practical examples and working sample code, Java™ and JMX is a must-have introduction, technological guide, and reference for Java architects and developers.
