DESCRIPTION
If you have ever used JMX for managing distributed components, you know that one of the most powerful and flexible MBean is a Model MBean. However, creating metadata information about each MBean is a painful process and one that requires several lines of code. The Modeler component of Jakarta Commons makes this task easier by providing a mechanism to read configuration files that contain Model MBean information in an XML format. Further, it provides several useful alternatives to the way Model MBeans are managed, making the overall process well worth the effort.
The module introduces the Modeler component. Before, it does that, however, it introduces JMX for users who are not well versed in this technology. So no prior knowledge is assumed as the JMX tutorial at the starting of this module takes care of all the basic stuff. This tutorial also servers as the basis for understanding the problem with Model MBeans, and how Modeler helps to solve this problem. Modeler’s several capabilities are explained with examples, including the new feature where Modeler can be integrated with ANT using a set of generic ANT tasks.
