The MBean server is not directly exposed to the blocks at this stage. In a few
weeks we should have a mechanism via which you can expose objects to
management system directly. However at the moment you have to do it the
following way.
* First you define your component as per usuall
* Then you define an interface via which you want your block to be managed.
And make your block implement this interface
* then you place something like
<!-- interfaces that may be exported to manange this block -->
<management-access-points>
<service name="com.biz.MyServiceMBean"/>
</management-access-points>
to your xinfo file. If you are autogenerating your xinfo file via xdoclet then
you add something like the following to your class level javadoc
@phoenix:mx name="com.biz.MyServiceMBean"
This will expose a very raw MBean to the MBeanServer. If you want to add
descriptions and prettier display names and all that jazz then you need to
either hand write a mxinfo file (management extension file) but that is not
recomended. It would be wiser to generate this file from xdoclet markup in
file. Download latest phoenix and look in the docs to see how it works (I
think the docs are prefixed with guide-mx-*). The docs are mostly done but I
believe Huw was going to touch it up before release. Look in the
o.a.a.phoenix.interfaces.* package for examples of interfaces marked up.
I believe it is also possible to just markup Blocks to expose management info
though not sure about that.
