Java Management Extensions (JMX) Technology Update
TS-5199

The Java Management Extensions (JMX) API, part of the core Java platform since release 5.0, is being updated through two JSRs nearing completion: JSR 255 (JMX API 2.0) and JSR 262 (Web Services Connector). In this session, members of Sun's JMX API team discuss the state of the art and explain how the new JSRs will improve scalability, ease of use, and interoperation.

Scalability covers larger applications with more managed objects and distributed management across many machines.

Ease of use covers several new annotations to make it easier to define managed objects. Annotations also make it easier to expose descriptions of those objects to management consoles, including internationalized descriptions. A new query language makes it easier to select objects that match certain criteria.

Interoperation covers management of Java technology-based applications by programs not running on the Java platform, such as scripts, or tools using the WS-Management standard. JSR 262 facilitates the integration of Java technology-based applications into heterogeneous management environments.

This session does not assume detailed knowledge of JMX technology.
