3.6 Summary
In this chapter, we laid out the basis for many of the future examples in the topic.
By creating the
JMXBookAgent
and
RMIClientFactory
classes, you will save time
and effort each time you need to use an example agent in later chapters. In addi-
tion, writing these classes provided the opportunity for us to introduce the
RMI
connector, which you will also use in later chapters.
The agent you created in this chapter is very simple; it is on par with the sim-
ple agent created in chapter 2. However, the
JMXBookAgent
class is only in foun-
dation form for now; you will add to it as we progress to chapters that require the
agent to have more features.
With the groundwork laid for future examples, you are ready to move to
chapter 4. It begins the detailed discussion of MBeans by examining the Stan-
dard MBean type.
