MBeanInfo (Java 2 Platform Ent. Ed. v1.4) - Java Platform, Enterprise Edition v1.4 API Specifications

JavaTM 2 Platform
Ent. Ed. v1.4

javax.management
Class MBeanInfo

java.lang.Object
  extended byjavax.management.MBeanInfo
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ModelMBeanInfoSupport, OpenMBeanInfoSupport

public class MBeanInfo
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

Describes the management interface exposed by an MBean; that is, the set of attributes and operations which are available for management operations. Instances of this class are immutable. Subclasses may be mutable but this is not recommended.

The contents of the MBeanInfo for a Dynamic MBean are determined by its getMBeanInfo() method. This includes Open MBeans and Model MBeans, which are kinds of Dynamic MBeans.

The contents of the MBeanInfo for a Standard MBean are determined by the MBean server as follows:

The remaining details of the MBeanInfo for a Standard MBean are not specified. This includes the description of the MBeanInfo and of any contained constructors, attributes, operations, and notifications; and the names and descriptions of parameters to constructors and operations.

Constructor Detail

MBeanInfo

public MBeanInfo(String className,
                 String description,
                 MBeanAttributeInfo[] attributes,
                 MBeanConstructorInfo[] constructors,
                 MBeanOperationInfo[] operations,
                 MBeanNotificationInfo[] notifications)
          throws IllegalArgumentException
Constructs an MBeanInfo.

Parameters:
className - The name of the Java class of the MBean described by this MBeanInfo. This value may be any syntactically legal Java class name. It does not have to be a Java class known to the MBean server or to the MBean's ClassLoader. If it is a Java class known to the MBean's ClassLoader, it is recommended but not required that the class's public methods include those that would appear in a Standard MBean implementing the attributes and operations in this MBeanInfo.
description - A human readable description of the MBean (optional).
attributes - The list of exposed attributes of the MBean. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.
constructors - The list of public constructors of the MBean. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.
operations - The list of operations of the MBean. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.
notifications - The list of notifications emitted. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if className is not a syntactically legal Java type name. Java reserved words are not considered illegal here.
Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a shallow clone of this instance. The clone is obtained by simply calling super.clone(), thus calling the default native shallow cloning mechanism implemented by Object.clone(). No deeper cloning of any internal field is made.

Since this class is immutable, the clone method is chiefly of interest to subclasses.


getClassName

public String getClassName()
Returns the name of the Java class of the MBean described by this MBeanInfo.

Returns:
the class name.

getDescription

public String getDescription()
Returns a human readable description of the MBean.

Returns:
the description.

getAttributes

public MBeanAttributeInfo[] getAttributes()
Returns the list of attributes exposed for management. Each attribute is described by an MBeanAttributeInfo object. The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanAttributeInfo objects but that each referenced MBeanAttributeInfo object is not copied.

Returns:
An array of MBeanAttributeInfo objects.

getOperations

public MBeanOperationInfo[] getOperations()
Returns the list of operations of the MBean. Each operation is described by an MBeanOperationInfo object. The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanOperationInfo objects but that each referenced MBeanOperationInfo object is not copied.

Returns:
An array of MBeanOperationInfo objects.

getConstructors

public MBeanConstructorInfo[] getConstructors()

Returns the list of the public constructors of the MBean. Each constructor is described by an MBeanConstructorInfo object.

The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanConstructorInfo objects but that each referenced MBeanConstructorInfo object is not copied.

The returned list is not necessarily exhaustive. That is, the MBean may have a public constructor that is not in the list. In this case, the MBean server can construct another instance of this MBean's class using that constructor, even though it is not listed here.

Returns:
An array of MBeanConstructorInfo objects.

getNotifications

public MBeanNotificationInfo[] getNotifications()
Returns the list of the notifications emitted by the MBean. Each notification is described by an MBeanNotificationInfo object. The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanNotificationInfo objects but that each referenced MBeanNotificationInfo object is not copied.

Returns:
An array of MBeanNotificationInfo objects.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this MBeanInfo to another. Two MBeanInfo objects are equal iff they return equal values for getClassName() and for getDescription(), and the arrays returned by the two objects for getAttributes(), getOperations(), getConstructors(), and getNotifications() are pairwise equal. Here "equal" means Object.equals(Object), not identity.

If two MBeanInfo objects return the same values in one of their arrays but in a different order then they are not equal.

Parameters:
o - the object to compare to.
Returns:
true iff o is an MBeanInfo that is equal to this one according to the rules above.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
