Interface AdminClient



  • public interface AdminClient
    The AdminClientImpl is a concrete Java class to provide the client side APIs to the remote AdminService. It delegates all the calls to the server side JMX connector through the local AdminServiceProxy. The implemented AdminServiceProxy uses a specific transport to communication the JMX connector. The currently supported transports include SOAP and RMI.

    Most of APIs here are mapped from those defined in JMX MBeanServer interface, but not all MBeanServer APIs are contained in the AdminClientImpl.

    The methods mapped from the javax.management.MBeanServer include

    • getMBeanCount()
    • getDomainName()
    • getDefaultDomain()
    • getMBeanInfo(ObjectName)
    • getAttribute(ObjectName, String)
    • getAttributes(ObjectName, String[])
    • setAttribute(ObjectName, Attribute attribute)
    • setAttribute(ObjectName, Attribute attributeList)
    • isInstanceOf(ObjectName, Class)
    • isRegistered(ObjectName)
    • queryNames(ObjectName, QueryExp)
    • invoke(ObjectName, String, Object[], String[])

    In a single-sever environment, the behavior for these methods is exactly the same as that defined in JMX specification because there is only one MBeanServer involved. However, in a multi-node enrivonment, it's very important to beware the existence of MBean request routing. Most methods which take the complete javax.management.ObjectName as a paramemter may be routed to the downstream process if the AdminClientImpl connects to the managing process such as the cell manager and node agent. The methods which take no parameters are only applicable to the local MBeanServer; for example, if the getMBeanCount method is called when connected to the cell manager, it will return only the MBean count for the cellmgr MBeanServer, not the MBean count for the whole cell.

    Routing is always in a top-down fashion; that is, from the cellmgr to the node agent to the managed process. The routing decision is based on the "node" and "process" properties in the ObjectName; the cellmgr routes requests to the downstream node agents based on the "node" property, while each node agent routes to the processes sitting in that node based on the "process" property. If the corresponding routing property is not present (for example, no "node" property when the cellmgr is determining where to route the method), the method will be executed locally.

    Note that queryNames is a little special: it accepts an ObjectName which may contain wildcard characters (known as an ObjectName pattern). If a pattern is used and the corresponding routing property is not found, the query will go across all downstream nodes. For example, if the ObjectName "*:node=DefaultNode,*" is used while connected to the cellmgr, the query will go across all managed processes which are in the DefaultNode. A special case of this is queryNames(null, null), which will allow the query to run on all downstream processes (the same as the pattern "*:*"). Note that if an ObjectName pattern is not given, the query will not be routed if the routing properties are not present, like other methods.

    For the JMX event support, AdminClientImpl supports the distributed event notification which is not specified in the current JMX specification. The semantics here is slightly different from that from the JMX MBeanServer. For details, look at the javadoc for LocalEventNotifier .

    In case that a call to the AdminClientImpl can not reach the server, a ConnectorNotAvailabeException is thrown and the AdminClientImpl is marked as "down". If the server is back online later on, the reconnect method can be called to bring the AdminClientImpl back "up".

    Enable security in the base server.

    For SOAP based AdminClient, the users need to specifiy the "username" and "password" and explicitly set "securityEnabled" as "true". Some other properties may also be required in order to make a SSL connection, these properties can be either specified as a Java system properties or passed as paramemters when invoking AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(Properties). These properties include

    • javax.net.ssl.trustStore
    • javax.net.ssl.keyStore
    • javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword
    • javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword

    An exmample to make a secure SOAP based AdminClient:

                Properties props = new Properties();
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_HOST, "localhost");
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_PORT, "8880");
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE, AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE_SOAP);
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_SECURITY_ENABLED, "true");
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.USERNAME, "test2");
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.PASSWORD, "user24test");
               props.setProperty(AdminClient.CACHE_DISABLED, "false");
          props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:/WebSphere/AppServer/etc/DummyClientTrustFile.jks");
                    props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:/WebSphere/AppServer/etc/DummyClientKeyFile.jks");
                    props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "WebAS");
                    props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "WebAS");
               AdminClient client = AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(props);
    
     

    To make a secure RMI based AdminClient is a little easier because you can rely on existing "com.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL" which normal points to a property file, for instance, $WAS_ROOT/properties/sas.client.properites. There are a couple different ways to specify the login username and password and it's determined by "com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource" in "com.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL". For programmatic login, you can set "com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource" as "none" and then provide your username/password when you create a AdminClient using AdminClientFactory.

    For example,

          Properties props = new Properties();
          props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_HOST, "localhost");
          props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_PORT, "2809");
          props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE, AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE_RMI);
          props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_SECURITY_ENABLED, "true");
          props.setProperty(AdminClient.USERNAME, "test");
          props.setProperty(AdminClient.PASSWORD, "user4test");
          AdminClient client = AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(props);

        Adds a listener to exactly one MBean. Behaves identically to the JMX MBeanServer.addNotificationListener, except that it works in a distributed environment. This means that MBeans which are not located on this specific process may have listeners added to it assuming routing information is correct.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the MBean on which the listener should be added.
        listener - the listener object which will handle the notifications emitted by the registered MBean
        filter - the filter object; if filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications
        handback - the context to be sent to the listener when a notification is emitted
        Throws:
        javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException - the MBean name provided does not match any of the registered MBeans.
        ConnectorException - a communication problem occured adding the listener
      • addNotificationListenerExtended

        void addNotificationListenerExtended(javax.management.ObjectName name,
                                           javax.management.NotificationListener listener,
                                           javax.management.NotificationFilter filter,
                                           java.lang.Object handback)
                                             throws ConnectorException
        Adds a listener to multiple MBeans. Behaves similarly to the addNotificationListener(javax.management.ObjectName, javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object) method, except for the following:
        • The name parameter may include wildcards, and pattern matching is performed as in the queryMBeans method; null is not allowed
        • Listeners added with this method will receive notifications by MBeans registered in the future; i.e. the MBean does not need to be active currently to listen to it.
        • An InstanceNotFoundException is never thrown.
        Parameters:
        name - a pattern matching zero or more MBeans; notifications from all these MBeans will be routed to the listener
        listener - the listener object which will handle the notifications emitted by the registered MBean
        filter - the filter object; if filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications
        handback - the context to be sent to the listener when a notification is emitted
        Throws:
        ConnectorException - a communication problem occured adding the listener
      • removeNotificationListener

        void removeNotificationListener(javax.management.ObjectName name,
                                      javax.management.NotificationListener listener)
                                        throws javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException,
                                               javax.management.ListenerNotFoundException,
                                               ConnectorException
        Removes a listener from exactly one MBean. Behaves identically to the JMX MBeanServer.removeNotificationListener, except that it works in a distributed environment. This means that MBeans which are not located on this specific process may have listeners added to it assuming routing information is correct.

        This method should not be used to remove listeners added with addNotificationListenerExtended(javax.management.ObjectName, javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object); use removeNotificationListenerExtended(ObjectName,NotificationListener) instead.

        Parameters:
        name - the name of the MBean on which the listener should be removed
        listener - the listener object which will handle the notifications emitted by the registered MBean
        Throws:
        javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException - the MBean name provided does not match any of the registered MBeans
        javax.management.ListenerNotFoundException - the listener is not registered in the MBean
        ConnectorException - a communication problem occured adding the listener
