How do I override the description for an MBean

[jimimak]

Hi,

I've managed to successfully export an MBean using the following:


<bean id="jmxServer" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.MBeanServer FactoryBean">
<property name="defaultDomain" value="com.acme.widget" />
</bean>

<bean id="assembler" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.assembler.Me tadataMBeanInfoAssembler">
<property name="attributeSource" ref="attributeSource" />
</bean>

<bean id="htmlAdaptor" class="com.sun.jdmk.comm.HtmlAdaptorServer" init-method="start" destroy-method="stop">
<property name="port" value="7001" />
</bean>

<bean id="mbeanExporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporte r">
<property name="beans">
<map>
<entry key="adaptor:name=htmlAdaptor" value-ref="htmlAdaptor" />
</map>
</property>
<property name="assembler" ref="assembler" />
<property name="autodetectModeName" value="AUTODETECT_ASSEMBLER" />
<property name="namingStrategy" ref="namingStrategy" />
<property name="server" ref="jmxServer" />
</bean>

<bean id="attributeSource" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.annotation.A nnotationJmxAttributeSource" />

<bean id="namingStrategy" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.naming.Metad ataNamingStrategy">
<property name="attributeSource" ref="attributeSource" />
</bean>


I can see my classes/operations/attributes that I annotate but what I also want to do is provide a more "custom" description for the agent. Is there a way I can manually override the getDescription() on the ModelMBeanInfo resource ? ....I managine I'll always be exporting to HTML and what I'd ideally like to do is provide a HTML table in the description detailing a list of elements relevant to the agent.

I'm a bit of a newbie to JMX so please go easy on me.

@Override
protected String getDescription(MBeanOperationInfo op) {
...
