There is a brief discussion of automatic code downloading in the JMX Best Practices document (http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/mntr-mgmt/javamanagement/best-practices.jsp#mozTocId348704), but not enough to actually implement it.
Would someone be kind enough to point me to some documentation on the subject, and/or maybe provide a few pointers?
Thanks!
Steve
Hi Steve,
If you want to know more about RMI dynamic code downloading have a look at the following link:
http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/technotes/guides/rmi/codebase.html
You should also know that you can supply a ClassLoader to both the JMXConnectorServer and JMXConnector at instantiation time in the environment map. This ClassLoader will be used by the JMX connectors to serialize/deserialize the method parameters and return values when getting and setting attributes, or invoking operations on a given MBean.
If you want to know more about how classloading works within the JMX connectors have a look at Chapter 13 "Connectors" in the JMX 1.4 specification:
