Factory to create JMX API connector clients. There
are no instances of this class.
Connections are usually made using the {@link
#connect(JMXServiceURL) connect} method of this class. More
advanced applications can separate the creation of the connector
client, using {@link #newJMXConnector(JMXServiceURL, Map)
newJMXConnector} and the establishment of the connection itself, using
{@link JMXConnector#connect(Map)}.
Each client is created by an instance of {@link
JMXConnectorProvider}. This instance is found as follows. Suppose
the given {@link JMXServiceURL} looks like
"service:jmx:protocol:remainder" .
Then the factory will attempt to find the appropriate {@link
JMXConnectorProvider} for protocol . Each
occurrence of the character + or - in
protocol is replaced by . or
_ , respectively.
A provider package list is searched for as follows:
- If the
environment parameter to {@link
#newJMXConnector(JMXServiceURL, Map) newJMXConnector} contains the
key jmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs then the
associated value is the provider package list.
- Otherwise, if the system property
jmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs exists, then its value
is the provider package list.
- Otherwise, there is no provider package list.
The provider package list is a string that is interpreted as a
list of non-empty Java package names separated by vertical bars
(| ). If the string is empty, then so is the provider
package list. If the provider package list is not a String, or if
it contains an element that is an empty string, a {@link
JMXProviderException} is thrown.
If the provider package list exists and is not empty, then for
each element pkg of the list, the factory
will attempt to load the class
pkg.protocol.ClientProvider
If the environment parameter to {@link
#newJMXConnector(JMXServiceURL, Map) newJMXConnector} contains the
key jmx.remote.protocol.provider.class.loader then the
associated value is the class loader to use to load the provider.
If the associated value is not an instance of {@link
java.lang.ClassLoader}, an {@link
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException} is thrown.
If the jmx.remote.protocol.provider.class.loader
key is not present in the environment parameter, the
calling thread's context class loader is used.
If the attempt to load this class produces a {@link
ClassNotFoundException}, the search for a handler continues with
the next element of the list.
Otherwise, a problem with the provider found is signalled by a
{@link JMXProviderException} whose {@link
JMXProviderException#getCause() cause} indicates the underlying
exception, as follows:
- if the attempt to load the class produces an exception other
than
ClassNotFoundException , that is the
cause;
- if {@link Class#newInstance()} for the class produces an
exception, that is the cause.
If no provider is found by the above steps, including the
default case where there is no provider package list, then the
implementation will use its own provider for
protocol , or it will throw a
MalformedURLException if there is none. An
implementation may choose to find providers by other means. For
example, it may support the
JAR conventions for service providers, where the service
interface is JMXConnectorProvider .
Every implementation must support the RMI connector protocols,
specified with the string rmi or
iiop .
Once a provider is found, the result of the
newJMXConnector method is the result of calling {@link
JMXConnectorProvider#newJMXConnector(JMXServiceURL,Map) newJMXConnector}
on the provider.
The Map parameter passed to the
JMXConnectorProvider is a new read-only
Map that contains all the entries that were in the
environment parameter to {@link
#newJMXConnector(JMXServiceURL,Map)
JMXConnectorFactory.newJMXConnector}, if there was one.
Additionally, if the
jmx.remote.protocol.provider.class.loader key is not
present in the environment parameter, it is added to
the new read-only Map . The associated value is the
calling thread's context class loader. |
