All,

I'm trying to write my own MBean, and I have it working: the bean is
registered and I can browse it using jconsole, etc., call methods, etc.

At one point during the process, I believe I had the
beans-descriptors.xml file actually being loaded, so that my
customized descriptions of attributes and methods were being shown in
jconsole.

At some point, I changed something and they are no longer showing up.
It looks like I'm getting an introspected MBean description instead of
the declared one I want. All the attributes for example are described
as "Attribute exposed for management".

I've set org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.level=ALL and the same for the
Console logger, so I'm getting a steady stream of output from the
modeler package, including a whole bunch of messages like this:

FINER [main] org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.Registry.loadDescriptors
Finding descriptor org/apache/catalina/authenticator

Great. What I don't see is a similar message for my own MBean. It
doesn't look like Tomcat is ever trying to load the
mbeans-descriptors.xml file for my MBean.

Here's what I've got:

0. Tomcat 8.0-trunk
1. A JAR file in CATALINA_BASE/lib containing my MBean interface,
class, and mbeans-descriptors.xml, all in the same package
(imaginatively called "mbeans"), and a Filter class that creates the
bean and registers it with the MBean server.
2. The Tomcat "examples" webapp, with modifications to WEB-INF/web.xml
to load the aforementioned Filter.

Here's the whole mbeans-descriptors.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mbeans-descriptors>
  <mbean name="RequestStats"
         className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ClassNameMBean"
         description="Server statistics and configuration"
         domain="Catalina"
         type="mbeans.RequestStats">

    <attribute name="className"
               description="Fully qualified class name of the managed
object"
               type="java.lang.String"
               writeable="false"/>

    <operation name="getProcessingTime"
               description="Gets the total number of milliseconds
spent processing requests."
               impact="INFO"
               returnType="long">
    </operation>

    <operation name="getRequestCount"
               description="Gets the total number of requests processed."
               impact="INFO"
               returnType="long">
    </operation>

    <operation name="resetCounters"
               description="Resets all counters."
               impact="ACTION"
               returnType="void">
    </operation>
  </mbean>
</mbeans-descriptors>

I realize that two of the "operations" should probably be "attributes"
instead, but it was about the time I changed from "operation" to
"attribute" that things stopped working, so I rolled-back my changes a
bit to back-track.

Here's the contents of my mbean-example.jar file:

I can't see to find the text "mbean.Request" anywhere in the log
files. I've become desperate and set org.apache.tomcat.level=ALL and
org.apache.catalina.level=ALL to see if I can find anything.

Can anyone shed some light on why my mbeans-descriptors.xml file isn't
being loaded -- or even looked-for?
