Tag Usage, Class Level (@jmx)

@jmx.mbean (0..1)

The jmx.mbean tag identifies the class as an mbean. It can be used to generate the interface for a standard mbean and the jboss specific xmbean xml descriptor and service.xml file format.

Parameter Type Applicability Description Mandatory
extends text Specifies the superclass for the standard mbean interface. false
name text Specifies the object name for mlet or it can be used as a default in an extension template. false
description text Specifies a description for the mbean that can be used in mbean infos. false
persistPolicy text Specifies the persistence policy for this mbean
Valid options are:

OnUpdate

NoMoreOftenThan

Never

OnTimer
false
persistPeriod text Specifies when the mbean state will be saved. false
persistLocation text Specifies the location for the mbean's state to be saved. false
persistName text Specifies the name to identify the mbeans saved state with. false
persistence-manager text Specifies the fully qualified class name of a persistence manager for this mbean (JBoss specific). false
currencyTimeLimit text Specifies how long the mbeans state may be considered valid. false
state-action-on-update text Specifies what the jboss state management should do when an attribute is updated on a started mbean. (jboss specific). false
descriptor text Specifies an additional custom descriptor for the mbean that can be used in mbean infos. To make this work as an xdoclet parameter, you need to escape the double quotes: descriptor="name=\"name\" value=\"value\"" false

@jmx.mlet-entry (0..1)

The jmx.mlet-entry tag allows you to specify entries for a generated mlet.

Parameter Type Applicability Description Mandatory
archive text Specifies the ARCHIVE property for an mlet configuration. false
codebase text Specifies the path to the package for the mbean class. false

@jmx.notification (0..*)

Defines a jmx notification.

Parameter Type Applicability Description Mandatory
description text Specifies the description for the notification. false
name text Specifies the name for the notification. true
persistPolicy text Specifies the persistence policy for this mbean
Valid options are:

OnUpdate

NoMoreOftenThan

Never

OnTimer
false
persistPeriod text Specifies when the mbean state will be saved. Not sure how this applies to notifications. false
persistLocation text Specifies the location for the mbean's state to be saved. Not sure how this applies to notifications. false
persistName text Specifies the name to identify the mbeans saved state with. Not sure how this applies to notifications. false
currencyTimeLimit text Specifies how long the mbeans state may be considered valid. Not sure how this applies to notifications. false
descriptor text Specifies an additional custom descriptor for the mbean that can be used in mbean infos. This should be of the form name="name" value="value". To make this work as an xdoclet parameter, you need to escape the double quotes: descriptor="name=\"name\" value=\"value\"" false

Tag Usage, Method Level (@jmx)

@jmx.managed-operation (0..1)

Defines a jmx managed operation. This method will be included in a standard mbean interface and marked as a managed operation in xmbean metadata. jmx.managed-parameter tags must be used to describe the parameters.

Parameter Type Applicability Description Mandatory
impact text Specifies the impact of the operation.
Valid options are:

ACTION

INFO

ACTION_INFO

Default value(s):

ACTION_INFO
false
description text Specifies a description for the managed operation that can be used in mbean infos. false

@jmx.managed-attribute (0..1)

Defines a jmx managed attribute. This method will be included in a standard mbean interface and an attribute based on its name will be included as a managed atribute in xmbean metadata. This must be included on any getter or setter you want exposed in a standard mbean. For xmbeans, the methods with these tags will be identified as the getMethod and setMethod for the attribute.

Parameter Type Applicability Description Mandatory
access text Specifies the access to the managed-attribute: read-only, write-only or read-write.
Valid options are:

read-only

write-only

read-write

Default value(s):

read-write
false
description text Specifies a description for the managed attribute that can be used in mbean infos. false
persistPolicy text Specifies the persistence policy for this mbean
Valid options are:

OnUpdate

NoMoreOftenThan

Never

OnTimer
false
persistPeriod text Specifies when the mbean state will be saved. false
persistLocation text Specifies the location for the mbean's state to be saved. false
persistName text Specifies the name to identify the mbeans saved state with. false
currencyTimeLimit text Specifies how long the mbeans state may be considered valid. false
state-action-on-update text Specifies what the jboss state management should do when an attribute is updated on a started mbean. (jboss specific). false
value text Specifies the (initial) value for the managed attribute. This is used in the jboss *-service.xml file and the xmbean descriptor. In both cases the result is the value is set as the initial value of the newly deployed mbean. false
descriptor text Specifies an additional custom descriptor for the mbean that can be used in mbean infos. This should be of the form name="name" value="value". To make this work as an xdoclet parameter, you need to escape the double quotes: descriptor="name=\"name\" value=\"value\"" false

@jmx.managed-parameter (0..*)

Defines an argument for a managed operation or managed constructor. NOTE: this tag is somewhat defective in that some of the info (type) can be determined automatically and there is no check that the number of parameters or their types specified actually match the method. You should expect the usage of this tag to change without notice.

Parameter Type Applicability Description Mandatory
name text Specifies a name for the operation or constructor argument. This can be different from the name used in java code. true
description text Specifies a description for the operation or constructor argument. false
type text The type of the argument. This should be determined from the method signature. true
value text A string representation of the value for the managed argument. Only useful for constructor arguments. false
