Rule Execution Server model

The management and monitoring model acts as an application-specific interface to manage business logic, including remote updating and browsing. You can access that management and monitoring model by using various tools.

An MBean server houses the Java™ Management Extensions (JMX) beans that administer the Rule Execution Server managerial operations.

JMX is a part of Java SE. Therefore, JMX-based hot deployment, management, and runtime statistics are not exclusive to Java EE. In JDK 1.7, the Java virtual machine (JVM) itself publishes MBeans with statistics. The MBean Server is a relatively lightweight component that maintains a tree of named beans.

You can access the management model by using any of the following tools:

An Ant task to the management model
A connection from Rule Designer to the management model
An operation in the Rule Execution Server console
JMX tools

Note: The management stack also includes a communication layer that can handle connections to a TCP/IP management server.

For more information about using JMX for monitoring and management, see the Java SE documentation page Monitoring and Management Using JMX Technology.
