JMX Support, commons-attributes

[sinclair.bain]

Hi,
I have been using the JMX support in the sandbox and have encountered the following:

When I annotate my class thus,

    /**
     * This type represents some object which will be exposed and managed via JMX.
     * <br>
     *
     * @@org.springframework.jmx.metadata.support.ManagedResource&#40;objectName="com.domain&#58;name=Service"&#41;
     */

    public class ManagedService
    &#123;
        ...
    &#125;

the commons-attributes 'pre-compilation' step does not generate the objectName (_attr.setObjectName( ) value correctly

    ...
    private void initClassAttributes () {
        {
        org.springframework.jmx.metadata.support.ManagedResource _attr =
            new org.springframework.jmx.metadata.support.ManagedResource(
                // edited by SB
            );
        _attr.setObjectName(
            "com.domain.name=Service"
        );
        Object _oattr = _attr; // Need to erase type information
        if (_oattr instanceof org.apache.commons.attributes.Sealable) {
            ((org.apache.commons.attributes.Sealable) _oattr).seal ();
        }
        classAttributes.add ( _attr );
        }
    }
    ...

i.e.
the "com.domain:name=Service" becomes "com.domain.name=Service" the : (colon) becomes . (a period).

_attr.setObjectName(
"com.domain.name=Service"
);


This is an error in the commons-attributes which I have been unable locate.

Can anyone help with a fix ?

Plus it looks as if the class definition structure is significant if the 'pre-compilation' step is to work.
Specifically the "package" and "import" statements _must_ come before the class comment otherwise the #initClassAttributes() is generated as a no-op (empty) method.

PS. I have posted here because there was no "sandbox/jmx/" section.

The solution to this error seems to be to introduce spaces around the <objectName> assignment:

@@org.springframework.jmx.metadata.support.ManagedResource(objectName = "com.domain:name=Service")

Don't know why this works ... but it does.
