Yiphee ! I created a MBean, Now What ???? (Tomcat 5.5)

[salvin francis]

I succeeded to create a Mbean,

My MBean Interface:

public interface MyBeanServerMBean
{
    String getCustomMessage();
    void setCustomMessage(String message);
    
    int getX();
    int getY();
    void setX(int x);
    void setY(int y);
}

When i run this Link:
http://localhost:8080/manager/jmxproxy

Here is my MBean status :

Name: Application:Name=Server,Type=Server
modelerType: simple.MyBeanServer
CustomMessage: this is a server message text with the value as 
X: 0
Y: 0

My mbeans-descriptor.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mbeans-descriptors>
  <mbean name="MyBeanServer"
         className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ClassNameMBean"
         description="Some description comes here for My Custom bean"
         domain="Catalina"
         type="simple.MyBeanServer">
    
    <attribute name="className"
               description="Test"
               type="java.lang.String"
               writeable="false"/>

    <attribute name="debug"
               description="The debugging detail level for this component"
               type="int"/>

    <operation name="getCustomMessage"
               description="Description for getCustomMessage comes here"
               impact="ACTION"
               return="String">
    </operation>


	<!-- adding some more values for the work of testing -->
	<attribute name="x"
               description="Test description"
               type="int"
               writeable="true"/>
	<attribute name="y"
               description="Test description 1"
               type="int"
               writeable="true"/>
  </mbean>
</mbeans-descriptors>

now, what i want to do:
1. Change an attribute value
2. Invoke a method

Wait !!!
I did refer online : Apache link for JMX query and set
I tried a lot, but i could not change my Mbean attribute value,
Neither could i invoke my MBean Method

This is a closest to a valid operation i could get:

http://localhost:8080/manager/jmxproxy/?set=Application:Name=Server,Type=Server&att=X&value=100


Output answer:
Error - java.lang.NumberFormatException: null

I still am not able to set my attribute value,
btw what if my method has more than 1 parameter ? can i call it with two "&value=XXX" tags ? ( i cant try it as i am not being able to set even
a single value

As a point, Tomcat really sucks @ caching, I have to clean,clean working dir,restart server every time. And on a few occasions, even these
led to stale Outputs (please mention any extra thing i can do to ensure fresh output)
