How to specify custom naming stragegy using Spring JMX Annotations

[gundakiran]

Currently I specify MBeanExporter like this:

	<bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter" lazy-init="false">
		<property name="beans">
			<map>
				<entry key="RouterCache" value-ref="routerCache" />
			</map>
		</property>
		<property name="namingStrategy" ref="websphereNamingStrategy" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="websphereNamingStrategy" class="com.xxx.WebSphereNamingStrategy">
		<constructor-arg ref="WASAdminService" />
	</bean>

This works fine, but I want to achieve the same thing using Spring JMX annotations, but I couldn't find a way to specify 'namingStragey' reference in the Annotations (@ManagedResource or on <context:managed /> tag). Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Kiran

Only way I found is that define MetadataMBeanInfoAssembler and configure the MBeanExporter with this assembler. In this way it will identify the annotations using AnnotationJmxAttributeSource. It may just be the limitation of <context:managed/> annotation. Here is how it looks my configuration..

	<bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter">
		<property name="assembler" ref="assembler" />
		<property name="namingStrategy" ref="namingStrategy" />
		<property name="autodetect" value="true" />
		<property name="registrationBehaviorName" value="REGISTRATION_REPLACE_EXISTING" />
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="jmxAttributeSource"
		class="org.springframework.jmx.export.annotation.AnnotationJmxAttributeSource" />

	<bean id="assembler"
		class="org.springframework.jmx.export.assembler.MetadataMBeanInfoAssembler">
		<property name="attributeSource" ref="jmxAttributeSource" />
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="WASAdminService" class="com.ibm.websphere.management.AdminServiceFactory"
			factory-method="getAdminService" />

	<bean id="namingStrategy" class="com.xxx.xxx.WebSphereNamingStrategy">
		<constructor-arg ref="WASAdminService" />
	</bean>

And I annotated the classes that I need to expose as MBeans with @ManagedResource and everything works fine.. I am not sure if there is a better way to do this.
