Accessing and Displaying the Attributes of an AMX MBean

The displayAllAttributes() method demonstrates how to access and display the attributes of an AMX MBean.

displayAllAttributes( final AMX item )
{
    println( "\n--- Attributes for " + item.getJ2EEType() +
        "=" + item.getName() + " ---" );
    final Extra extra = Util.getExtra( item );
    final Map attrs    = extra.getAllAttributes();
    final Iterator iter = attrs.keySet().iterator();
    while ( iter.hasNext() )
    {
        final String name = (String)iter.next();
        final Object value = attrs.get( name );
        println( name + "=" + toString( value ) );

        println( "No {@link AMX} of j2eeType "
            + SampleUtil.quote( j2eeType ) + " found" );
    }

    {
        final Iterator iter= items.iterator();
        while ( iter.hasNext() )
        {
            final AMX amx = (AMX)iter.next();
            displayAllAttributes( amx );
            println( "" );
        }
    }

The displayAllAttributes() method calls the AMX.getName() and AMX.getJ2EEType() methods for an AMX MBean and prints the results onscreen. It then gets all the attributes for that MBean by calling com.sun.appserv.management.base.Extra.getAllAttributes() on the Extra instance returned by com.sun.appserv.management.base.Util.getExtra(). This is repeated for every MBean.

The attributes of AMX MBeans of a certain J2EE type can be displayed by specifying the J2EE type when the command is run. In this case, displayAllAttributes() calls queryForJ2EEType(). The queryForJ2EEType() method calls the com.sun.appserv.management.base.QueryManager.queryPropSet() method on the specified J2EE type to identify all elements of that type in the domain.
