Hi Pid, Marry Christmas !!! Purpose of DBManager.reload() is to load some application specific data from DB. Pls don't consider reload() as reload of MBean. reload() can better be renamed as loadData(). when I invoke reload() from jconsole my application is suppose to make a db connection and load app specific data from database.
