Who Should Use This Book

This book is aimed at developers wishing to use the tools provided with the Java Dynamic Management Kit.

Familiarity with Java programming and the JavaBeans component model is assumed.

This book is not intended to be an exhaustive reference: management tutorials intended to demonstrate each of the management levels and how they interact are covered in Java Dynamic Management Kit 4.0 Tutorials, and the complete Javadoc API definitions are provided in the product documentation package.

This book covers proxygen for generating manager-side proxy objects, mibgen for generating MBeans from SNMP MIBs, the tracing and debugging mechanism and the output of the HTML protocol adaptor.
