Type-Safe Access to BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 MBeans (Deprecated)

(Methods marked with @since 9.0.0.0 are not available through the deprecated MBeanHome interface.)

weblogic.management.security
Interface ImportMBean

All Superinterfaces:

weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean, weblogic.descriptor.SettableBean, weblogic.management.commo.StandardInterface

All Known Subinterfaces:

CertificateRegistryMBean, CertRegManagerMBean, DefaultAuthenticatorMBean, DefaultAuthorizerMBean, DefaultCredentialMapperMBean, DefaultRoleMapperMBean, PKICredentialMapperMBean, SAMLIdentityAsserterMBean

public interface ImportMBean

extends weblogic.management.commo.StandardInterface, weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean

Provides a set of methods for importing provider specific data. A provider MBean can optionally extend this MBean. The WebLogic Server Administration Console detects when a provider extends this MBean and automatically provides a GUI for using these methods.

Deprecation of MBeanHome and Type-Safe Interfaces

In addition to being used as a base class that provides functionality to security provider MBeans, JMX applications can use this class directly as a type-safe interface. When used as a type-safe interface, a JMX application imports this class and accesses it through weblogic.management.MBeanHome. As of 9.0, the MBeanHome interface and all type-safe interfaces for WebLogic Server MBeans are deprecated. Instead, JMX applications that interact with WebLogic Server MBeans should use standard JMX design patterns in which clients use the javax.management.MBeanServerConnection interface to discover MBeans, attributes, and attribute types at runtime. For more information, see "Developing Manageable Applications with JMX" on http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html.

Method Detail

getSupportedImportConstraints

public String[] getSupportedImportConstraints()

Returns the list of import constraints that this provider supports.

A dynamic MBean attribute.

false

getSupportedImportFormats

public String[] getSupportedImportFormats()

Returns the list of import data formats that this provider supports.

A dynamic MBean attribute.

false

importData

public void importData(String format,
                       String filename,
                       Properties constraints)
                throws weblogic.management.utils.InvalidParameterException,
                       weblogic.management.utils.ErrorCollectionException

Imports provider specific data from a specified format. When errors occur, the MBean throws an ErrorCollectionException containing a list of java.lang.Exceptions, where the text of each exception describes the error.

Parameters:

format - - The format for importing provider specific data.

filename - - The full path to the filename used to read data.

constraints - - The constraints to be used when importing data. A null value indicates that all data will be imported.

Throws:

weblogic.management.utils.InvalidParameterException

weblogic.management.utils.ErrorCollectionException
