Hi community, I'm feel very proud today because I've just finished implementation of the new JMX integration module.
To play with the new JMX integration module, please start from the following example: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/mina/trunk/integration-jmx/src/main/java/org/apache/mina/integration/jmx/Foo.java?view=markup * IoServiceMBean provides additional operations that allows you to query the list of IoSessions that matches a certain criteria. The matcher expression has been implemented using OGNL (http://www.ognl.org/), which is very similar to Java expression. You can also register the match result as MBeans, which means you can manage individual sessions. * IoSessionMBean provides additional operations that allows you to modify the filter chain of the session. You can add any filter MBeans registered by IoFilterMBean to the filter chain at runtime, which means, for example, you can add profiler timer filter and remove it whenever you want. * IoFilterMBean provides nothing much but all IoFilters must be registered via this class so IoSessionMBean can access the filter instance. * ObjectMBean is the superclass of the three above, which can turn any POJO into a ModelMBean. It's somewhat monolithic, but it seems to work pretty well for MINA classes. To access properties, integration-jmx module uses Jakarta Commons BeanUtils and OGNL. Unfortunately, Jakarta Commons BeanUtils uses Jakarta Commons Logging, so you will have to configure SLF4J more carefully. I'm looking for a similar library that doesn't depend on any logging framework. Please let me know if there's any. Another module to introduce is integration-ognl, which is depended by integration-jmx. It provides: * OGNL PropertyAccessor implementations for IoService, IoSession and IoFilter * IoSessionFinder utility class that evaluates a boolean OGNL expression to filter a set of IoSessions (e.g. search by IP address: remoteAddress.startsWith('192.168.0.2:'), search by session ID: id == 0x12345678, all sessions: true) I thought about using MVEL instead of OGNL, but it seems like MVEL is not available in the Maven repository and OGNL just works fine in this case which doesn't require high performance. I hope all these changes make everyone happy, and please let me know if there's a room for improvement. Any suggestion for new features is appreciated.
