Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5637:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks Kim, for getting this into the docs, and John, for writing it up in the
first place!
It all looks good to me. Some minor questions/suggestions below. Feel free to
commit the patch as-is and address the comments in a follow-up.
- In the "Using custom Java code to access the Derby MBeans" topic, the
sentence "It is assumed that the client JVM supports Java SE 5, 6, or 7" is
redundant since the client driver only works on Java SE 5 and newer, starting
with Derby 10.9, so the version requirement isn't JMX-specific. Removing the
sentence has the additional benefit that we don't have to update it once Java 8
is out. :)
- "Disabling access to MBeans" references and shows code from an internal
method (JMXManagementService.jmxRegister()). Maybe it's enough to say that
without the permissions, Derby will silently skip starting the management
service at boot time? Hopefully, the users believe that statement even if we
don't include the code to prove it. ;)
- "Enabling and disabling JMX" topic:
* Maybe change "running as the same user" to "running as the same operating
system user" so that it's not confused with Derby database or system users?
* Change "If you are using a Java SE 6 or 7 JVM" to "If you are using a Java
SE 6 or newer JVM" to prevent need to update as new JVM versions are released?
- "Introduction to the Derby MBeans" topic: Should we remove the parts marked
"(not public)" to keep them private?
- "Troubleshooting JMX connection issues" topic: "It" (first sentence, after
the comma) should not be capitalized.
- Inconsistent casing: "Platform MBean Server" / "platform MBean server" /
"platform MBean Server"
