Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a
custom mbean to a tomcat. This mbean is not part of a webapp. It should be instantiated when tomcat starts. My problem is, I can't find any complete documentation about how to deploy such a mbean. I'm getting different exceptions, depending on my configuration. Has anyone hints, a complete documentation or has implemented a mbean by himself and can post an example?
I configured tomcat to read a configuration from his conf directory:
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" mbeansFile="${catalina.base}/conf/mbeans-descriptors.xml">
The content is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
<!DOCTYPE mbeans-descriptors PUBLIC
"-//Apache
Software Foundation//DTD Model MBeans Configuration File"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/mbeans-descriptors.dtd">
-->
<!-- Descriptions of JMX MBeans -->
<mbeans-descriptors>
<mbean name="Performance"
description="Caculate JVM throughput"
type="Performance">
<attribute name="throughput"
description="calculated throughput (ratio between gc times and uptime of JVM)"
type="double"
writeable="false"/>
</mbean>
</mbeans-descriptors>
When name in the xml file and class name match, I get this excption:
SEVERE: Error creating mbean Performance

When changing the name attribute in the xml file to test.example:type=Performance, I get this exception:

The documentation from apache is not really helpful, as it just explains a small part.
I'm aware of this question but it doesn't help me. The answer I gave worked just for a short time, after that I got some other exceptions.
For additional info, the java interface
public interface PerformanceMBean {
public double getThroughput();
}
and implementing class
/* some import statements */
public class Performance implements PerformanceMBean {
public double getThroughput() {
...
}
}
