This topic describes how to develop and build a Java™ Management
Extensions (JMX) client program that is compliant with JMX Remote application
programming interface (JSR 160). After you have a working JMX client program,
you can use it to manage WebSphere® Application Server or
non-WebSphere Application Server systems.
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with JSR 160 and JMX application
programming interface (API) programming. For information on JSR 160, see
http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=160. For
information on the Java APIs, view the application programming
interfaces documentation.
About this task
When you develop and run JMX clients that use various JMX connectors
and that have security enabled, use the following guidelines. When you follow
these guidelines, you guarantee the behavior among different implementations
of JMX connectors. Any programming model that strays from these guidelines
is unsupported.
- Create and use a single JMX client before you create and use another JMX
client.
- Create and use a JMX client on the same thread.
- Use one of the following ways to specify a user ID and password to create
a new JMX client:
- Specify a default user ID and password in the property file.
- Specify a user ID and password other than the default. After you create
a JMX client with a nondefault user ID and password, specify the nondefault
user ID and password when you create subsequent JMX clients.
Procedure
- Develop a JMX
client program.
-
Build and run the JMX client program.
The steps that are
required to build and run your program depend on the kind of application environment
that your code runs. Refer to the Using application clients topic for details
on how to build and run your JMX client program.
Results
You have developed, built, and run a JMX client program that is JSR
160 compliant.
