JMX MBean Notification Model

The management interface of an MBean allows an MBean's agent to perform control and configuration operations on the managed resources. The JMX MBean notification model allows MBeans to broadcast management notifications. Management applications and other objects register as listeners with the broadcaster MBean. The JMX MBean notification model enables a listener to register only once and still receive all different notifications that may occur in the broadcast.
