Displaying the AMX MBean Hierarchy

The displayAMX() method demonstrates how to display the AMX MBean hierarchy.

The displayAMX() method obtains the J2EE type and the name of an AMX MBean by calling AMX.getJ2EEType and AMX.getName respectively.

The displayHierarchy() method defines a standard Java Collection instance, amxSet, which collects instances of AMX MBeans.

To display the hierarchy of MBeans within a particular MBean in the collection, displayHierarchy() checks whether the MBean is an instance of Container. If so, it creates a set of the MBeans it contains by calling the com.sun.appserv.management.base.Container.getMultiContaineeMap() method.

The MBean hierarchy for a particular J2EE type is displayed by calling the com.sun.appserv.management.base.QueryMgr.queryJ2EETypeSet(), and passing the result to displayHierarchy().

To display the entire AMX MBean hierarchy in a domain, displayHierarchy() calls getDomainRoot() to obtain the root AMX MBean in the domain.
