Book Description

Publication Date: 14 Oct 2002 | ISBN-10: 1930110561 | ISBN-13: 978-1930110564 | Edition: 1
JMX in Action covers the Java Management Extensions specification. You will learn how JMX can provide robust management and monitoring capabilities for your Java and non-Java resources (including hardware).
  • Going beyond covering the API, this book delivers real life examples and useful code. In addition to describing the JMX specification in detail, this book shows how to use, and extend the functionality provided by a JMX system.
  • Specifically, the book includes all types of MBeans, working with JMX agents, in depth chapters covering the JMX agent services, and combining JMX with other Java technologies. The book contains chapters on using JMX with Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and the Java Message Service (JMS).
  • Also included are examples of JMX adapters that you can use in your own applications. In later chapters, the book demonstrates how to extend certain JMX services to provide additional functionality. Finally, the book contains several utility classes that will make JMX application development easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best way to get started with JMX 22 Oct 2002
By Kyle G. Brown - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Finally, a JMX book you'll love! Unlike other JMX books I've read (even those purporting to be based on "Real-world" experience) this book is firmly grounded with examples and explanations as to why JMX is useful and necessary.

Starting from the first chapter (which is the best architectural overview of JMX I've read) the authors provide clear, easy-to-understand explanations of both the how and the why of JMX. The code examples are readable and clearly explained (the authors specifically call out the relevant parts of each example) making you want to grab an editor and start coding!

They cover all of the major parts of JMX very well, including details on each of the different types of Mbeans. Likewise, their coverage of JMX notification is the best I've seen. And, since the book is based on the Sun JMX Reference Implementation with detailed instructions on building and running the examples, it's easy to try this yourself.

There are a few minor snags that don't affect the book much. They don't start using UML early enough (the first large-scale example left me scratching my head) and they build a few marginally useful things (a Jini connector, for instance). Also, a bit more detail on other JMX implementations would have been nice. However, it's still the best of the available JMX books. Buy it if you need to use or build Mbeans!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good on tech, not much expository information 26 April 2004
By Jack D. Herrington - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In classic Manning fashion this book is concise and focused, uses graphics sparingly and effectively, and does a great job with code annotation. The problem comes with exposition. What I wanted was a book that not only explained what JMX was, but why I would want to use it. I found that this book had a ton of technical detail, on what is undoubtedly a complex topic, but lacked much in terms of context. More how, less why.

That being said, I understand that most readers are looking for the technical side of the argument and the book has that in spades. Particularly nice chapters are chapter one, which does provide a little context for the use of JMX, and provides a very nice, though brief, overview of the JMX architecture. Chapter six, on agent notification is also excellent.

Frankly, I would love to see a second version of this book with more emphasis on use cases. For example, chapter 7, on dynamic MBean creation, would do well to cover why you would want to use Model MBeans, and not just assume the reader understands the solution out of context with the need.

If you are on a project using JMX or an architect who is already looking at JMX, this book is worth the look. If you are looking for a gentle introduction to the topic, keep looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book! 21 Nov 2002
By superam - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have found this book extremely helpful to my development efforts. The code examples were key in helping me understand JMX with EJBs and JMS. In my rapid development activities, the good, clear examples and concise points helped me write effecient and better code.

Also, it is stated in a previous review that you need to have the JDMK in order to compile the code . This is not necessary for you to be successful with this book! One does not need the JDMK; the free 'remoting.jar' can be downloaded from the JMX website at java.sun.com. This jar file contains the RMI adapter and is only needed for a small part of the book.

This book is definitely the best source of JMX material that I have encountered.
