Work with JMX MBeans on the Liberty profile

The primary interfaces for interacting with MBeans on the Liberty profile :

javax.management.MBeanServer	Application code running on the Liberty profile.
javax.management.MBeanServerConnection	External code running in a separate Java virtual machine.

We can use an instance of either of these interfaces to access the attributes and call the operations of MBeans.

To access MBeans run...

/java/bin/jconsole.sh

Then click on the MBeans tab.

For application code running on the Liberty profile, we can use a javax.management.MBeanServer instance using the following code:

import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
import javax.management.MBeanServer;
...
MBeanServer mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
...

For external code running in a separate Java virtual machine, we can use a javax.management.MBeanServerConnection instance.
