Java Management Extensions (JMX)

Documentation Contents
The JavaTM Management Extensions (JMXTM) API is a standard API introduced in J2SE 5.0 for management and monitoring of resources such as applications, devices, services, and the Java virtual machine. The JMX technology was developed through the Java Community Process (JCP) as Java Specification Request (JSR) 3, Java Management Extensions, and JSR 160, JMX Remote API.

Typical uses of the JMX technology include:
