JMX Architecture
In this section, we will take a look at the three levels of the JMX architecture. The level closest to the application is called the instrumentation level. This level consists of four approaches for instrumenting application and system resources to be manageable (i.e., making them managed beans, or MBeans), as well as a model for sending and receiving notifications. JMX notifications are analogous to SNMP traps.
The middle level of the JMX architecture is called the agent level. This level contains a registry for handling manageable resources (the MBean server) as well as several agent services, which themselves are MBeans and thus are manageable. The combination of an instance of the MBean server, its registered MBeans, and any agent services in use within a single Java Virtual Machine ( JVM) is typically referred to as a JMX agent.
The third level of the JMX architecture is called the distributed services level. This level contains the middleware that connects JMX agents to applications that manage them (management applications). This middleware is broken into two categories: protocol adaptors and connectors. Through a protocol adaptor, an application such as a web browser can connect to one or more JMX agents and manage the MBeans that are registered within it (for example, via HTTP). As long as the management application can understand the objects contained in the protocol stream, it can manage the MBeans they represent; thus, protocol adaptors do not need ...
