"Connecting JMX Clients and Servers" discusses the complete JMX architecture including the JMX Remoting 1.2 release. Offered are leading-edge examples of JMX integration with distributed applications, including sequence diagrams and sample code. The book takes a top down approach; starting from the highest level of detail and drilling down to expose the lowest level of details. The book presents the JMX architecture as a pluggable, services-oriented framework. This includes discussing how JMX allows you to dynamically add, remove and modify services at run-time. The book provides in-depth discussions of JMX notifications, event models and messages. The book finished up with real-world examples of JMX in use. This includes discussions of how JMX is integrated with different management systems and how JMX is used to expose these systems to the J2EE environment.
