25.2.2.3 Naming in Cascading Agents

Mirror MBeans are registered in the master agent with the same object name as the mirrored MBean in the subagent. If the registration fails in the master agent's MBean server, no error is raised and no action is taken: the corresponding MBean will simply not be mirrored in the master agent.

The most likely cause for registration to fail is that the object name already exists in the master agent. An MBean cannot be registered if its chosen object name already exists in the MBean server.

If your management solution has potential naming conflicts, you will need a design that is guaranteed to assign unique object names throughout the cascade hierarchy. You can set the default domain name in your subagents or use the MBeanServerId attribute of the delegate MBean to give MBeans a unique object name.
