Interface Management

All Superinterfaces:

EJBObject, Remote

extends EJBObject

The Management interface provides the APIs to navigate and manipulate managed objects. The J2EE Management EJB component (MEJB) must implement this as its remote interface.

Method Detail

queryNames

Set queryNames(ObjectName name,
               QueryExp query)
        throws RemoteException

Gets the names of managed objects controlled by the MEJB. This method enables any of the following to be obtained: The names of all managed objects, the names of a set of managed objects specified by pattern matching on the ObjectName, a specific managed object name (equivalent to testing whether a managed object is registered). When the object name is null or no domain and key properties are specified, all objects are selected. It returns the set of J2EEObjectNames for the managed objects selected.

Parameters:

name - The object name pattern identifying the managed objects to be retrieved. If null or no domain and key properties are specified, all the managed objects registered will be retrieved.

Returns:

A set containing the ObjectNames for the managed objects selected. If no managed object satisfies the query, an empty set is returned.

Throws:

RemoteException - A communication exception occurred during the execution of a remote method call

isRegistered

boolean isRegistered(ObjectName name)
              throws RemoteException

Checks whether a managed object, identified by its object name, is already registered with the MEJB.

Parameters:

name - The object name of the managed object to be checked.

Returns:

True if the managed object is already registered in the MEJB, false otherwise.

Throws:

RemoteException - A communication exception occurred during the execution of a remote method call

getMBeanCount

Integer getMBeanCount()
               throws RemoteException

Returns the number of managed objects registered in the MEJB.

Throws:

RemoteException - A communication exception occurred during the execution of a remote method call

This method discovers the attributes and operations that a managed object exposes for management.

Parameters:

name - The name of the managed object to analyze

Returns:

An instance of MBeanInfo allowing the retrieval of all attributes and operations of this managed object.

                    ReflectionException,
                    RemoteException

Gets the value of a specific attribute of a named managed object. The managed object is identified by its object name.

Parameters:

Returns:

The value of the retrieved attribute.

getAttributes

AttributeList getAttributes(ObjectName name,
                            String[] attributes)
                     throws InstanceNotFoundException,

                            RemoteException

Enables the values of several attributes of a named managed object. The managed object is identified by its object name.

Parameters:
