Getting Started with the Java Dynamic Management Kit 4.0

Standard MBeans

Standard MBeans are Java objects that conform to certain design patterns derived from the JavaBeans component model. Standard MBeans allow you to define your management interface as a Java Interface and this interface, in turn, defines the handles that are exposed to management of that particular resource. The methods for reading and writing the MBean's attributes and for invoking its operations are described in this management interface. Standard MBeans are defined statically, in that the elements of their management interface are defined at compilation time and cannot be controlled or altered at runtime. They are the quickest and easiest type of MBeans to implement when you want to create new MBeans for new manageable resources where their data structure is defined in advance and is unlikely to change often.
