JMX defines a method for Java developers to integrate their applications with existing network management software by dynamically assigning Java objects with management attributes and operations. By encouraging developers to integrate independent Java management modules into existing management systems, the Java Community Process (JCP) and industry leaders hope that developers will consider non-proprietary management as a fundamental issue rather than as an afterthought. JMX facilitates the centralized management of managed objects (called MBeans) which act as Java wrappers for applications, services, components, or devices in a distributed network. The actual management is provided by an MBean server, which acts as a registry for all manageable resources. The MBean server is the spine of the JMX architectural frame, allowing server components to plug in and discover all manageable objects. Java Managment Extensions for management and monitoring are an optional extension to the standard Jave Developer Kit (JDK) and can be used in place of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). ______________________ SELECTED LINKS: ZDNet Australia has an article (with diagram) that explains how "JMX keep your Java apps connected." http://www.zdnet.com.au/builder/program/java/story/0,2000034779,20272799,00.htm TheServerSide provides an overview of JMX. http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=JMX Java.Sun.Com provides more information about Java management. http://java.sun.com/products/JavaManagement/ ______________________ RELATED TERMS: J2EE http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci283984,00.html object http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci212680,00.html MBean http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci914020,00.html wrapper http://searchdatabase.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid13_gci213388,00.html registry http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid1_gci212883,00.html ______________________ TODAY'S TECH NEWS: UPDATE: CRITICAL WINDOWS ALERT ISSUED, EXPLOIT EXISTS Microsoft has released a patch for a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in Windows that could enable an outsider to run code on a compromised computer. http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci914132,00.html SAP, RED HAT PLAN NEW PARTNERSHIP SAP and leading Linux distributor Red Hat are close to inking a deal to deliver applications on the open-source platform with new technology created inside SAP's LinuxLab. http://searchsap.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid21_gci914066,00.html USERS SAY STORAGE SECURITY IS SHAKY AT BEST A recent survey shows that SAN operators are worried about the level of data security in their storage environments. http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid5_gci914068,00.html >> Catch up on all the latest IT news at http://searchtechtarget.techtarget.com/ ______________________ Information Kit | Voice over IP Having data and voice communications travel on one network is an idea that makes a lot of sense.
