public class MBeanInfo extends Object implements Cloneable, Serializable, DescriptorRead
Describes the management interface exposed by an MBean; that is, the set of attributes and operations which are available for management operations. Instances of this class are immutable. Subclasses may be mutable but this is not recommended.
Usually the MBeanInfo
for any given MBean does not change over the lifetime of that MBean. Dynamic MBeans can change their MBeanInfo
and in that case it is recommended that they emit a Notification
with a type of
"jmx.mbean.info.changed"
and a userData that is the new MBeanInfo
. This is not required, but provides a conventional way for clients of the MBean to discover the change. See also the immutableInfo and infoTimeout fields in the
MBeanInfo
Descriptor
.
The contents of the MBeanInfo
for a Dynamic MBean are determined by its getMBeanInfo()
method. This includes Open MBeans and Model MBeans, which are kinds of Dynamic MBeans.
The contents of the MBeanInfo
for a Standard MBean are determined by the MBean server as follows:
getClassName()
returns the Java class name of the MBean object; getConstructors()
returns the list of all public constructors in that object; getAttributes()
returns the list of all attributes whose existence is deduced from the presence in the MBean interface of a getName
, isName
, or setName
method that conforms to the conventions for Standard MBeans; getOperations()
returns the list of all methods in the MBean interface that do not represent attributes; getNotifications()
returns an empty array if the MBean does not implement the NotificationBroadcaster
interface, otherwise the result of calling NotificationBroadcaster.getNotificationInfo()
on it; getDescriptor()
returns a descriptor containing the contents of any descriptor annotations in the MBean interface (see @DescriptorKey
). The description returned by getDescription()
and the descriptions of the contained attributes and operations are not specified.
The remaining details of the MBeanInfo
for a Standard MBean are not specified. This includes the description of any contained constructors, and notifications; the names of parameters to constructors and operations; and the descriptions of constructor parameters.

MBeanInfo
.className
- The name of the Java class of the MBean described by this MBeanInfo
. This value may be any syntactically legal Java class name. It does not have to be a Java class known to the MBean server or to the MBean's ClassLoader. If it is a Java class known to the MBean's ClassLoader, it is recommended but not required that the class's public methods include those that would appear in a Standard MBean implementing the attributes and operations in this MBeanInfo.description
- A human readable description of the MBean (optional).attributes
- The list of exposed attributes of the MBean. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.constructors
- The list of public constructors of the MBean. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.operations
- The list of operations of the MBean. This may be null with the same effect as a zero-length array.notifications

public Object clone()
Returns a shallow clone of this instance. The clone is obtained by simply calling super.clone()
, thus calling the default native shallow cloning mechanism implemented by Object.clone()
. No deeper cloning of any internal field is made.
Since this class is immutable, the clone method is chiefly of interest to subclasses.

object. The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanAttributeInfo
objects but that each referenced MBeanAttributeInfo
object is not copied.MBeanAttributeInfo

MBeanOperationInfo
object. The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanOperationInfo
objects but that each referenced MBeanOperationInfo
object is not copied.MBeanOperationInfo
objects.public MBeanConstructorInfo[] getConstructors()
Returns the list of the public constructors of the MBean. Each constructor is described by an MBeanConstructorInfo
object.
The returned array is a shallow copy of the internal array, which means that it is a copy of the internal array of references to the MBeanConstructorInfo
objects but that each referenced MBeanConstructorInfo
object is not copied.
The returned list is not necessarily exhaustive. That is, the MBean may have a public constructor that is not in the list. In this case, the MBean server can construct another instance of this MBean's class using that constructor, even though it is not listed here.

public boolean equals(Object o)
Compare this MBeanInfo to another. Two MBeanInfo objects are equal if and only if they return equal values for getClassName()
, for getDescription()
, and for getDescriptor()
, and the arrays returned by the two objects for getAttributes()
, getOperations()
, getConstructors()
, and getNotifications()
are pairwise equal. Here "equal" means Object.equals(Object)
, not identity.
If two MBeanInfo objects return the same values in one of their arrays but in a different order then they are not equal.
