Pro JMX: Java Management Extensions

Pro JMX: Java Management Extensions discusses the complete JMX architecture including the JMX Remoting 1.2 release. Offered are leading edge examples of JMX integration with distributed applications, including sequence diagrams and sample code. The book takes a top-down approach; starting from the highest level of detail and drilling down to expose the lowest level of details.

Jeff Hanson presents the JMX architecture as a pluggable, services-oriented framework, including how JMX allows you to dynamically add, remove, and modify services at run-time. Hanson also provides in-depth discussions of JMX notifications, event models, and messages.

Hanson wraps up the book with real-world examples of JMX in use. This includes discussions of how JMX is integrated with different management systems and how JMX is used to expose these systems to the J2EE environment.
