How to get system properties in Websphere 5.0.2

[Anbarasan Chandramohan]

HI
I am running an application in Websphere5.0.2 I need to get one System property port number dynamically while the app server is running. I hope it should be like MBean in Weblogic.
MBeanHome mbeanHome = (MBeanHome)ctx.lookup(MBeanHome.ADMIN_JNDI_NAME);
ServerMBean serverMBean =
(ServerMBean)mbeanHome.getAdminMBean(serverName, "Server");
return serverMBean.getListenPort();
If anybody has the skeleton code to get the system property in Websphere5.0.2 pls. do post it.
Thanks,
A.Chandramohan

I'm sorry, I can't figure out exactly what you want to do. Do you just need to fetch a system property, or are you looking for a specific WebSphere MBean? Tell us WHY you need this information and we may be able to help you.

Hi Kyle,
Thanks. Actually we need to fetch a system property dynamically. For ex: ListenerPortNumber, HostName. How to do this?
We couldnt understand the purpose of MBean in websphere. Can you brief the purpose.
Thanks

MBeans are a concept from JMX. JMX is about application management. The server and network deploy all are JMX enabled application.
Static MBean concept is very simple.

I think that my problem is that we may have a different definition of "System Property". If you literally mean System properties as defined in the Java language, you use System.getProperty() as in any other Java program. However, I don't think that's what you mean by the context. I ask you again, WHAT are you trying to do and why?
