JMX Interview Question:

What is JMX architecture?

Submitted by: Administrator

JMX is based on a 3-level architecture:

► The Probe level contains the probes (called MBeans) instrumenting the resources. Also called the Instrumentation level.
► The Agent level, or MBeanServer, is the core of JMX. It is an intermediary between the MBean and the applications.
► The Remote Management level enables remote applications to access the MBeanServer through Connectors and Adaptors. A connector provides full remote access to the MBeanServer API using various communication frameworks (RMI, IIOP, JMS, WS), while an adaptor adapts the API to another protocol (SNMP) or to Web-based GUI (HTML/HTTP, WML/HTTP).
