Interface: javax.management.modelmbean.ModelMBeanNotificationBroadcaster (java/j2se/1.6) javadoc api

Interface: javax.management.modelmbean.ModelMBeanNotificationBroadcaster

public interface ModelMBeanNotificationBroadcaster
extends NotificationBroadcaster

This interface must be implemented by the ModelMBeans. An implementation of this interface must be shipped with every JMX Agent.

Java resources wishing to be manageable instantiate the ModelMBean using the MBeanServer's createMBean method. The resource then sets the ModelMBeanInfo (with Descriptors) for the ModelMBean instance. The attributes and operations exposed via the ModelMBeanInfo for the ModelMBean are accessible from MBeans, connectors/adaptors like other MBeans. Through the ModelMBeanInfo Descriptors, values and methods in the managed application can be defined and mapped to attributes and operations of the ModelMBean. This mapping can be defined during development in an XML formatted file or dynamically and programmatically at runtime.

Every ModelMBean which is instantiated in the MBeanServer becomes manageable: its attributes and operations become remotely accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBeanServer. A Java object cannot be registered in the MBeanServer unless it is a JMX compliant MBean. By instantiating a ModelMBean, resources are guaranteed that the MBean is valid.

MBeanException and RuntimeOperationsException must be thrown on every public method. This allows for wrapping exceptions from distributed communications (RMI, EJB, etc.). These exceptions do not have to be thrown by the implementation except in the scenarios described in the specification and javadoc.

Methods

addAttributeChangeNotificationListenertop

public void addAttributeChangeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener, String attributeName, Object handback) throws MBeanException, RuntimeOperationsException, IllegalArgumentException

Registers an object which implements the NotificationListener interface as a listener. This object's 'handleNotification()' method will be invoked when any attributeChangeNotification is issued through or by the ModelMBean. This does not include other Notifications. They must be registered for independently. An AttributeChangeNotification will be generated for this attributeName.
Parameters:
@param listener The listener object which will handles notifications emitted by the registered MBean.
@param attributeName The name of the ModelMBean attribute for which to receive change notifications. If null, then all attribute changes will cause an attributeChangeNotification to be issued.
@param handback The context to be sent to the listener with the notification when a notification is emitted.
Exceptions:
@exception IllegalArgumentException The listener cannot be null.
@exception MBeanException Wraps a distributed communication Exception.
@exception RuntimeOperationsException Wraps an IllegalArgumentException The attribute name passed in parameter does not exist.

removeAttributeChangeNotificationListenertop

public void removeAttributeChangeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener, String attributeName) throws MBeanException, RuntimeOperationsException, ListenerNotFoundException

Removes a listener for attributeChangeNotifications from the RequiredModelMBean.
Parameters:
@param listener The listener name which was handling notifications emitted by the registered MBean. This method will remove all information related to this listener.
@param attributeName The attribute for which the listener no longer wants to receive attributeChangeNotifications. If null the listener will be removed for all attributeChangeNotifications.
Exceptions:
@exception ListenerNotFoundException The listener is not registered in the MBean or is null.
@exception MBeanException Wraps a distributed communication Exception.
@exception RuntimeOperationsException Wraps an IllegalArgumentException If the inAttributeName parameter does not correspond to an attribute name.

sendAttributeChangeNotificationtop

public void sendAttributeChangeNotification(Attribute oldValue, Attribute newValue) throws MBeanException, RuntimeOperationsException
Sends an attributeChangeNotification which contains the old value and new value for the attribute to the registered AttributeChangeNotification listeners on the ModelMBean.
Parameters:
@param oldValue The original value for the Attribute
@param newValue The current value for the Attribute
```
 The constructed attributeChangeNotification will be:
   type        "jmx.attribute.change"
   source      this ModelMBean instance
   sequence    1
   attributeName oldValue.getName()
   attributeType oldValue's class
   attributeOldValue oldValue.getValue()
   attributeNewValue newValue.getValue()
 
```
Exceptions:
@exception MBeanException Wraps a distributed communication Exception.
@exception RuntimeOperationsException Wraps an IllegalArgumentException: An Attribute object passed in parameter is null or the names of the two Attribute objects in parameter are not the same.
