Re: MXINFO question

[Paul Hammant]

Ulrich,
Check in Phoenix.log.  There is a fail-silent bug that manifests itself 
for weird return types on attributes. Try commenting all out then adding 
them one by one.

Hello,
I've just created my first MXINFO file, but the descriptions I put in 
don't appear in the management console of MX4J. Apparently the file 
wasn't evaluated, but I don't see any error message in phoenix.log. 
Here are the files I have:

MyApp - an empty interface class (no methods or constructors)
MyAppMBean - contains some interface definitions for JMX
MyAppImpl - contains the implementations of the MyAppMBean interfaces 
and implements MyApp
MyAppMBean.mxinfo - my MXINFO file

Here's my MyAppMBean file:
public interface MyAppMBean {
    public String deleteObject(String id);
    public String getStatus();
    public void resume();
    public void pause();
    }
Here's what I have in the MXINFO file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE mxinfo PUBLIC "-//PHOENIX/Mx Info DTD Version 1.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/phoenix/mxinfo_1_0.dtd";>
<mxinfo>
    <topic name="MyApp">
      <!-- attributes -->
      <attribute
        name="status"
        description="Status of MyApp"
        isWriteable="no"
        type="java.lang.String"
      />
      <!-- operations -->
      <operation
        name="deleteObject"
        description="Deletes an Object"
        type="java.lang.String"
      >
        <param
          name="instance"
          description="ID of Object to be deleted"
          type="java.lang.String"
        />
      </operation>
    </topic>
</mxinfo>
I was expecting that the descriptions I put in should appear in the 
MX4J-generated MBean web page, but they don't. I can think of two 
possible mistakes I made (although the docs don't forbid them):

1. I didn't define all the methods from the interfaces in MyAppMBean 
in the MXINFO file, because I only need descriptions for a few.

2. I should have called the MXINFO file MyAppImpl.mxinfo
Any ideas on how to debug this?
