Hi All,

getting past a new hurdle in jmx and coming across a new one - every day...but this one seems to be something that I am doing wrong...

I have a class which implements the dynamic mbean interface and I need it to access a properties file and make changes to the attributes in the properties file.

A sample code is given below:


public class ADMWPPropertyManager implements DynamicMBean {

private final String propertyFileName;
private final Properties properties;

public ADMWPPropertyManager(String propertyFileName) throws IOException {
this.propertyFileName = propertyFileName;
properties = new Properties();
load();
}


public synchronized String getAttribute(String name)
throws AttributeNotFoundException {

String value = properties.getProperty(name);
if (value != null)
return value;
else
throw new AttributeNotFoundException("No such property: " + name);
}

//setAttribute(), setAttributes() and getAttributes() are implemented as well�

public synchronized MBeanInfo getMBeanInfo() {
SortedSet<String> names = new TreeSet<String>();
for (Object name : properties.keySet())
names.add((String) name);
MBeanAttributeInfo[] attrs = new MBeanAttributeInfo[names.size()];
Iterator<String> it = names.iterator();
for (int i = 0; i < attrs.length; i++) {
String name = it.next();
attrs[i] = new MBeanAttributeInfo(
name,
"java.lang.String",
"Property " + name,
true, // isReadable
true, // isWritable
false); // isIs
}
MBeanOperationInfo[] opers = {
new MBeanOperationInfo(
"reload",
"Reload properties from file",
null, // no parameters
"void",
MBeanOperationInfo.ACTION)
};
return new MBeanInfo(
this.getClass().getName(),
"Property Manager MBean",
attrs,
null, // constructors
opers,
null); // notifications
}
}


I expect the code above to get a properties file from my system on start of the JBoss app server and I would like to make modifications to the properties file at runtime�.

The jboss-service.xml is given as follows:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
<mbean code="com.altair.adm.webportal.jmx.Startup" name="ZADMPortal:service=Startup">
</mbean>
<mbean code="com.altair.adm.webportal.jmx.ADMWPPropertyManager" name="ZADMPortal:service=ADMWPPropertyManager">
<attribute name="propertyFileName">C:\\temp\\wpParams.txt</attribute>
</mbean>
</server>


The �Startup� bean works fine�which implements a simple MBean interface�

However when the above dynamic bean is invoked�it gives the following exception�

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: com.altair.adm.webportal.jmx.ADMWPPropertyManager.<init>(); - nested throwable: (java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.altair.adm.webportal.jmx.ADMWPPropertyManager.<init>())

I expect it to invoke the constructor with the propertyFileName...but it tries to initialize an default one?

am confused...

Thanks
Preetham

Hi Prasanth,

"jithz jitthzn" please see your private messages regarding an important administrative matter.

Also, see this: TellTheDetails
It would help if you posted information about your properties and the code you are using to access them. Then we don't have to guess about what you might be doing wrong but can instead offer concrete advice.
