This practical hands-on guide to using the JMX APIs was written by a software developer for other developers as a complete treatment of the JMX architecture.

Annotation The authoritative guide to the Java Management Extensions (JMX) specification, a major Enterprise Java technology releasing in 2001. JMX provides detailed information on the JMX specification and how to apply it in managing J2EE systems. Author Marc Fleury is widely known in the Java community and helped author the JMX specification. The JBoss Group brings more JMX application and integration experience than any other authoring team. JMX begins by presenting the JMX specification and its architecture. It quickly moves through the specification, offering examples of JMX integration with J2EE applications. The final section of the book presents JMX management and administration practices for a variety of J2EE platforms and scenarios. Marc Fleury founded the JBoss project upon leaving Sun Microsystems. He was one of the main developers behind JBoss 1.0 and 2.0, and is the "keeper" of the project. He founded JBoss Group, a company regrouping the elite developers of JBoss to consult around JBoss. Now a leading world expert on J2EE, Marc is a graduate of the French Ecole Polytechnique with a degree in Mathematics and a Ph.D in Physics for work done at MIT as a visiting scientist. Marc regularly offers training on J2EE and JBoss.

Get ready to plunge into the complete world of JMX architecture—including the release of JMX Remoting 1.2! Pro JMX: Java Management Extensions features cutting-edge examples of JMX integration with distributed applications, including sequence diagrams and real-world sample code. Author Jeff Hanson takes a top-down approach, starting from the highest level of detail and drilling down. In the process, he presents the JMX architecture as a pluggable, services-oriented framework, and discusses how JMX allows you to dynamically add, remove, and modify services at runtime. Hanson also provides in-depth discussions of JMX notifications, event models, and messages. The book finishes up with real-world examples of JMX in use, and features discussions of how JMX is integrated with different management systems and how JMX is used to expose these systems to the J2EE environment.

Java is now used with increasing frequency to develop mission-critical applications. Using Java Management Extensions (JMX) is the key to managing those applications. As JMX is increasingly accepted into the fields of embedded systems, enterprise systems, and telephony, it is clear that all Java developers will encounter JMX before long. Java(TM) and JMX: Building Manageable Systems is the definitive guide to JMX, combining an introduction to the technology with extensive coverage that will make this book a favorite reference. Much more than just an explanation of the JMX specifications, this book can drastically reduce a reader's JMX learning curve by explaining how to develop management requirements and apply JMX to them. The book's coverage includes: A management primer for Java programmers and architects A historical perspective on the evolution of JMX and its relation to other management standards, including SNMP, CIM/WBEM, TMN, and CMIP Development of JMX Manageable Resources with Standard and Dynamic MBeans Development with Model MBeans as customizable generic instrumentation using both the JMX APIs and XML files MBeanServer, including the MBean registry and object naming scheme, the generic MBean interface, and the query mechanism JMX Monitors and Notifications MBeanServer Services including the timer, relationship, and dynamic loading, along with custom services for XML services, HTTP adapters, RMI connectors, and security exposures and permissions JMX best practices, including deployment patterns, instrumentation patterns, federation patterns, and best practices JMX integration into J2EE and the JSR077 management models in J2EE 1.4 Using JMX to manage Web services from the perspective of service providers, registry providers, and users Written with an unparalleled degree of in-the-trenches familiarity and full of practical examples and working sample code, Java(TM) and JMX is a must-have introduction, technological guide, and reference for Java architects and developers. 0672324083B12052002

JMX in Action covers the Java Management Extensions specification. You will learn how JMX can provide robust management and monitoring capabilities for your Java and non-Java resources (including hardware).

For a long time, there has been a need for a practical, down-to-earth developers book for the Java Cryptography Extension. I am very happy to see there is now a book that can answer many of the technical questions that developers, managers, and researchers have about such a critical topic. I am sure that this book will contribute greatly to the success of securing Java applications and deployments for e-business. --Anthony Nadalin, Java Security Lead Architect, IBMFor many Java developers and software engineers, cryptography is an "on-demand" programming exercise, where cryptographic concepts are shelved until the next project requires renewed focus. But considerations for cryptography must be made early on in the design process and it's imperative that developers know what kinds of solutions exist. One of Java's solutions to help bridge the gap between academic research and real-world problem solving comes in the form of a well-defined architecture for implementing cryptographic solutions. However, to use the architecture and its extensions, it is important to recognize the pros and cons of different cryptographic algorithms and to know how to implement various devices like key agreements, digital signatures, and message digests, to name a few.In Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE), cryptography is discussed at the level that developers need to know to work with the JCE and with their own applications but that doesn't overwhelm by packing in details unimportant to the busy professional. The JCE is explored using numerous code examples and instructional detail, with clearly presented sections on each aspect of the Java library. An online open-source cryptography toolkit and the code for all of the examples further reinforces the concepts covered within the book. No other resource presents so concisely or effectively the exact material needed to begin utilizing the JCE. - Written by a seasoned veteran of both cryptography and server-side programming - Covers the architecture of the JCE, symmetric ciphers, asymmetric ciphers, message digests, message authentication codes, digital signatures, and managing keys and certificates
