The MBeanNotificationInfo
class is used to describe the characteristics of the different notification instances emitted by an MBean, for a given Java class of notification. If an MBean emits notifications that can be instances of different Java classes, then the metadata for that MBean should provide an MBeanNotificationInfo
object for each of these notification Java classes.
Instances of this class are immutable. Subclasses may be mutable but this is not recommended.
This class extends javax.management.MBeanFeatureInfo
and thus provides name
and description
fields. The name
field should be the fully qualified Java class name of the notification objects described by this class.
The getNotifTypes
method returns an array of strings containing the notification types that the MBean may emit. The notification type is a dot-notation string which describes what the emitted notification is about, not the Java class of the notification. A single generic notification class can be used to send notifications of several types. All of these types are returned in the string array result of the getNotifTypes
method.
