Java Management Extensions

Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a <a href="/facts/Java_platform/fpn6x8WL">Java</a> technology that supplies tools for managing and monitoring <a href="/facts/Application_software/YQuj7Kog">applications</a>, system objects, devices (such as <a href="/facts/Computer_printer/PnDF2QuF">printers</a>) and service-oriented networks. Those resources are represented by objects called MBeans (for Managed Bean). In the API, <a href="/facts/Class_(computer_science)/zvzkSAtE">classes</a> can be dynamically loaded and instantiated.
Managing and monitoring applications can be designed and developed using the Java Dynamic Management Kit.
JSR 003 of the <a href="/facts/Java_Community_Process/LFQVV4Ik">Java Community Process</a> defined JMX 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. JMX 2.0 was being developed under JSR 255, but this JSR was subsequently withdrawn. The JMX Remote API 1.0 for remote management and monitoring is specified by JSR 160. An extension of the JMX Remote API for Web Services was being developed under JSR 262.
Adopted early on by the <a href="/facts/Java_Platform%2c_Enterprise_Edition/7AAStd35">J2EE</a> community, JMX has been a part of <a href="/facts/Java_Platform%2c_Standard_Edition/1HMPhdsv">J2SE</a> since version 5.0. "JMX" is a trademark of <a href="/facts/Oracle_Corporation/0z14FygH">Oracle Corporation</a>.
