Managing JMX-Instrumented Applications 10-3
The BEA WebLogic Server (release 6.0 and higher) is instrumented with
JMX, and it includes everything you need to add JMX management
capabilities to your applications. The WebLogic JMX environment is
accessible using the weblogic.management.MBeanHome class, provided
by BEA. For WebLogic 6.1 and later, you can access MBeanHome by
using JNDI to look up MBeanHome.ADMIN.JNDI.NAME or
MBeanHome.JNDI_NAME+”.”+serverName. Once you acess
MBeanHome, use the getMBeanServer method to acess WebLogic’s
MBean server, then use the standard JMX methods to register MBeans.
For more information, see the documentation provided by BEA.
Note
In some cases, WebLogic Server 7.0 may cause a security exception
when an application attempts to create an MBean. If this happens,
include the following line in the script that starts your server:
-Dweblogic.diableMBeanAuthorization=true
The PATROL for BEA WebLogic MBean Interface
In PATROL for BEA WebLogic, you can view MBeans with their
components, set MBean attributes, invoke MBean operations, and
monitor MBean attributes and notifications. These capabilities are
available from the instance icon for the JMX_SERVER class (the icon
labeled “MBeans on server”) or from instances of JMX_DOMAIN that
appear under the server instance.
Some domains are recognized as being provided and controlled by BEA
for the purpose of managing WebLogic. For MBeans in these domains,
you will not be able to change attributes nor invoke operations. You will,
however, be able to view MBeans, attributes, operations, notifications,
and constructors, and you will be able to monitor attributes and
notifications for these MBeans.
