javax.management
class MBeanServerBuilder

java.lang.Object javax.management.MBeanServerBuilder

public class MBeanServerBuilder
extends Object

This class represents a builder that creates a default {@link javax.management.MBeanServer} implementation. The JMX {@link javax.management.MBeanServerFactory} allows applications to provide their custom MBeanServer implementation by providing a subclass of this class.

MBeanServerBuilder

public MBeanServerBuilder()

Public default constructor.

newMBeanServer

public MBeanServer newMBeanServer(String defaultDomain,
                                  MBeanServer outer,
                                  MBeanServerDelegate delegate)

This method creates a new MBeanServer implementation object. When creating a new MBeanServer the {@link javax.management.MBeanServerFactory} first calls newMBeanServerDelegate() in order to obtain a new {@link javax.management.MBeanServerDelegate} for the new MBeanServer. Then it calls newMBeanServer(defaultDomain,outer,delegate) passing the delegate that should be used by the MBeanServer implementation.

Note that the passed delegate might not be directly the MBeanServerDelegate that was returned by this implementation. It could be, for instance, a new object wrapping the previously returned delegate.

The outer parameter is a pointer to the MBeanServer that should be passed to the {@link javax.management.MBeanRegistration} interface when registering MBeans inside the MBeanServer. If outer is null, then the MBeanServer implementation must use its own this reference when invoking the {@link javax.management.MBeanRegistration} interface.

This makes it possible for a MBeanServer implementation to wrap another MBeanServer implementation, in order to implement, e.g, security checks, or to prevent access to the actual MBeanServer implementation by returning a pointer to a wrapping object.

Parameters:

defaultDomain - Default domain of the new MBeanServer.

outer - A pointer to the MBeanServer object that must be passed to the MBeans when invoking their {@link javax.management.MBeanRegistration} interface.

delegate - A pointer to the MBeanServerDelegate associated with the new MBeanServer. The new MBeanServer must register this MBean in its MBean repository.

Returns:

A new private implementation of an MBeanServer.

newMBeanServerDelegate

public MBeanServerDelegate newMBeanServerDelegate()

This method creates a new MBeanServerDelegate for a new MBeanServer. When creating a new MBeanServer the {@link javax.management.MBeanServerFactory} first calls this method in order to create a new MBeanServerDelegate.
Then it calls newMBeanServer(defaultDomain,outer,delegate) passing the delegate that should be used by the MBeanServer implementation.

Note that the passed delegate might not be directly the MBeanServerDelegate that was returned by this method. It could be, for instance, a new object wrapping the previously returned object.

Returns:

A new {@link javax.management.MBeanServerDelegate}.
