Running the Standard Proxy Example

The examplesDir/SimpleClients directory contains all of the files for the ClientMBeanProxy application which demonstrates the use of standard MBean proxies.

If you haven't done so already, compile all files in this directory with the javac command. For example, on the Solaris platform with the Korn shell, you would type:

$ cd examplesDir/SimpleClients/
$ javac -classpath classpath *.java

Before running the example, you must also generate the proxy MBeans classes and compile them as well. From the same directory as above, type the following commands:

$ installDir/SUNWjdmk/jdmk4.2/JDKversion/proxygen SimpleStandard
$ javac -classpath classpath SimpleStandardProxy.java

Instructions

1. Launch the base agent in a terminal window with the following command:

   $ java -classpath classpath BaseAgent

   The agent creates the RMI connector server to which the client application will establish a connection, and then it waits for management operations.

2. Wait for the agent to be completely initialized, then, in another window on the same host, launch the management application with the following command:

   $ java -classpath classpath ClientMBeanProxy

3. Press <Enter> in the manager window to step through the example.

   As seen in the code examples, the client application instantiates the proxy objects to access the MBean it has created in the base agent.

4. Press <Enter> one last time to exit the manager application, but leave the base agent running for the next example.
