Class Overview

This class represents a builder that creates MBeanServer implementations. The JMX MBeanServerFactory allows for applications to provide their custom MBeanServer implementation. This class is not used when the whole Sun Reference JMX Implementation is used. However it may be used to substitute Sun MBeanServer implementation to another JMX implementation.

Contrarily to the default javax.management.MBeanServerBuilder this MBeanServerBuilder returns MBeanServers on which MBeanServerInterceptors are enabled.

Public Methods

public MBeanServer newMBeanServer (String defaultDomain, MBeanServer outer, MBeanServerDelegate delegate)

This method creates a new MBeanServer implementation object. When creating a new MBeanServer the MBeanServerFactory first calls newMBeanServerDelegate() in order to obtain a new MBeanServerDelegate for the new MBeanServer. Then it calls newMBeanServer(defaultDomain,outer,delegate) passing the delegate that should be used by the MBeanServer implementation.

Note that the passed delegate might not be directly the MBeanServerDelegate that was returned by this implementation. It could be, for instance, a new object wrapping the previously returned delegate.

The outer parameter is a pointer to the MBeanServer that should be passed to the MBeanRegistration interface when registering MBeans inside the MBeanServer. If outer is null, then the MBeanServer implementation is free to use its own this pointer when invoking the MBeanRegistration interface.

This makes it possible for a MBeanServer implementation to wrap another MBeanServer implementation, in order to implement, e.g, security checks, or to prevent access to the actual MBeanServer implementation by returning a pointer to a wrapping object.

This MBeanServerBuilder makes it possible to create MBeanServer which support MBeanServerInterceptors.

Parameters
defaultDomain Default domain of the new MBeanServer.
outer A pointer to the MBeanServer object that must be passed to the MBeans when invoking their MBeanRegistration interface.
delegate A pointer to the MBeanServerDelegate associated with the new MBeanServer. The new MBeanServer must register this MBean in its MBean repository.
Returns
  • A new private implementation of an MBeanServer.

public MBeanServerDelegate newMBeanServerDelegate ()

This method creates a new MBeanServerDelegate for a new MBeanServer. When creating a new MBeanServer the MBeanServerFactory first calls this method in order to create a new MBeanServerDelegate.
Then it calls newMBeanServer(defaultDomain,outer,delegate) passing the delegate that should be used by the MBeanServer implementation.

Note that the passed delegate might not be directly the MBeanServerDelegate that was returned by this method. It could be, for instance, a new object wrapping the previously returned object.
