HTML Protocol Adaptor

The HTML protocol adaptor is an HTML server that enables web browsers to access a Java Dynamic Management agent through the HTTP communication protocol. When an HTML protocol adaptor is instantiated, it creates a TCP/IP socket and waits for incoming requests. By default, the HTML adaptor listens for incoming requests on port 8082. The HTML adaptor provides login/password authentication.

The HTML protocol adaptor is provided as a tool for debugging and speeding the development of agents. As such, it has certain limitations, for example it does not display complex types or multi-dimensional arrays.
