The Message Queue JMX API conforms to the Java Management Extensions (JMX) standard, described in the Java Management Extensions Instrumentation and Agent Specification and the Java Management Extensions (JMX) Remote API Specification. These documents can be downloaded from the URLs
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr003
and
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr160
respectively.
For a general conceptual introduction to JMX principles and architecture, see the Java Management Extensions (JMX) Technology Overview at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jmx/overview/JMXoverviewTOC.html
and the Java Management Extensions (JMX) Technology Tutorial at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jmx/tutorial/tutorialTOC.html
Message Queue API documentation in JavaDoc format is included in your Message Queue installation at the locations shown in Table P–2, depending on your platform. This documentation can be viewed in any HTML browser. It includes standard JMS API documentation as well as Message Queue–specific APIs for Message Queue administered objects, which are of value to developers of messaging applications.
