Adding remote Notification Listener at the manager side

You can also add a Notification Listener, addNotificationListener remotely, on the manager side. You can add a notification listener on a proxy MBean, as illustrated in Figure 1-3.

To add a listener to the manager side, call the appropriate addNotificationListener operation from proxy MBean A. This will transmit a call to the agent side and a local listener will be created internally to represent the remote listener (internal listener 1 in Figure 1-3). This local listener will then be created in the MBean server. This local listener in turn will receive and forward all notifications to the remote, internal listener. This is a protocol-dependent listener and is handled by the connector server. It is in charge of sending notifications throughout the network, from the agent side to the manager side.

You can also add a listener to the manager side directly, through the interface of the connector client. To do this, call the addNotificationListener operation from the connector client interface.
