Java Dynamic Management Kit 5.1 Getting Started Guide

4.1.1 Wrapping of Legacy Connectors

Although it is recommended that you use the new RMI and JMXMP connector protocols defined by the JMX Remote API, it is possible for you to continue to use your existing legacy connectors alongside the new ones. This is achieved by wrapping the legacy connector so that it appears in a form that is compatible with the new standard connectors. Wrapping your Java DMK 5.0 RMI and HTTP(S) connectors allows applications created using Java DMK 5.1 to interoperate with existing Java DMK applications.
