To add a connector/protocol adaptor to an agent, create an instance of the Java class that implements the connector/protocol adaptor you want to use.

The Java Dynamic Management Kit provides the following ways to add a connector/protocol adaptor to an agent:
A connector/protocol adaptor is an abstraction of a communications protocol. This means that the communication mechanism between agent and manager is hidden. The connectors/protocol adaptors provided by the Java Dynamic Management Kit are implemented as MBeans. This enables them to be managed. The Java Dynamic Management Kit does not require a connector/protocol adaptor to conform to a specific interface definition or implementation. However, a connector/protocol adaptor must be able to access the MBean server to retrieve and change information in MBeans in an agent.
