John H. Embretsen commented on DERBY-1387:
------------------------------------------

Thanks for the new revision of the patch. The committed code seems like a 
usable starting point for further work. I hope we're able to add some more 
useful functionality to it before the 10.4 release - perhaps we could start 
with a set of monitoring features that are not as sensitive security-wise as 
some of the ones currently in the funcSpec.

Due to the missing security permissions Derby's JMX feature does not currently 
work "out of the box" with the Network Server when using default settings 
(Security Manager). Although we'll add a set of required permissions to the 
default policy later, I am slightly worried that no hints about missing 
permissions are given to the user.

When I now run the Network Server with jdk1.4 and JMX enabled, I see the 
following in derby.log:

2008-02-14 13:40:44.874 GMT Thread[main,5,main] Class 
org.apache.derby.impl.services.jmx.JMXManagementService 
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: 
org/apache/derby/impl/services/jmx/JMXManagementService (Unsupported 
major.minor version 49.0), module ignored.

The message makes sense to me, but will it make sense to the users?

Also, the fact that the JMXManagementSerrvice now wraps the MBeans in a 
StandardMBean has some implications that we (and any Derby MBean developers) 
should be aware of. For example, emitting notifications or implementing 
MBeanRegistration won't work without some extra effort; see [1]. I think using 
StandardMBean (which technically makes our MBeans "dynamic" instead of 
"standard") is useful and provides more flexibility, but I just wanted to point 
out that it is not necessarily always straight forward.
