[Openjmx-users] OpenJMX beta 2 released

[Carlos Q. <car...@we...>]

OpenJMX, an OpenSource implementation of a JMX agent has relased its version 
1.0 beta 2 

The new beta version contains several bugfixes over the beta 1 as well as new 
features like: 
* Basic authentication and SSL support for the HttpAdaptor 
* xdoclet tasks for automatic generation of MBean and MBeanDescription 
interfaces 
* new SMTP and NamingService MBeans 
* several examples and documentation 

The change log is as follows:
Beta 2
* Added xdoclet for automatic MBean and MBeanDescription sources generation + 
docs and examples
* Added constructor command processor. It will return a list of constructors 
available for a given class. That can be used to create arbitrary MBeans of a 
given class
* The serverbydomain tree now has two new attributes. For each MBean it 
carries also classname and description
* The new MBean in the tools area is used to send mails via a SMTP server. It 
can be associated to notifications, for instance, listening to a timer or 
monitor
* Remote notification has been added to the RMI adaptor. Clients can now 
write notification listeners, register them with a remote MBeanServer and 
being notified when the selected broadcaster emits notifications.
* A Naming MBean that wraps the rmiregistry is added, so that it is now 
possible to start the rmiregistry inVM by simply registering this MBean
* Fixed bug when href targets pointing to objects names had special chars 
like spaces and '&'. Now  those links should be preprocessed with the 
uri-encode templateThe template uses xalan extensions calling the 
java.net.URLEncode class. Therefore now XSLTProcessor is xalan specific
* New Timer and Monitor views which allow you to  create and see Timers and 
Monitors
* Added serverbydomain?querynames=XXX request which will return only the 
queries which are strictly in the query parameter. Added query button to 
server view in GUI
* Added support for SSL to the HttpAdaptor as well as an example and 
documentation
* Found a bug where different internal relations where returning the same 
number and the same MBeans, evan though different MBeans had been used.
* Class name change: MBeanProxy --> StandardMBeanProxy in package openjmx.util
* Constructors missing in DescriptorSupport and various exceptions classes 
have been added, as the spec requires. Contributed by Remy Maucherat.
* RequiredModelMBeanTest was failing at testSetAttribute throwing 
NotSerializableException. Updated the Descriptor interface to extend 
Serializable (test passed) 
* Fixed bug for duplicate operations info in standard MBeans in case of 
inherited management interfaces.
* Fixed bug when doing a start/stop/start operation sequence on a Monitor. 
The change is minor involving the recreation of a TimerTask instead of 
reusing it. Bug tests were added
* Added notification info for the monitors as required for the specs for a 
NotificationBroadcaster
* Added to MonitorNotification missing static strings which define the 
available notification types. Done for compatibility with RI
* Fixed a bug in the scoping of the queries done via queryNames and 
queryMBeans. Thanks to Remy Maucherat for pointing out this bug.
* The HttpException class is able to produce a XML doc with the contents of 
the exception. This can be used to produce nicer Error pages
* Basic authentication implemented. The realm definition and authorization 
methods are subject to change
* RelationServiceExample was using MBeanProxy, which has been renamed to 
StandardMBeanProxy, the RelationServiceExample has now been updated 
accordingly
