invoke MBean method from EJB

[rsrivast]

I am trying to call a method of my custom MBean from a session EJB. I get the MBeanServer from MBeanServerFactory, then query the MBeanServer. The MBeanServer returns a set of ObjectInstance. Type casting ObjectInstance doesn't work.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You can call any management method from your MBean
by calling

MBeanServer.invoke(ObjectName name, String operationName,
Object[] params, String[] signature)

Thanks! An alternative is to setAttribute(ObjectName, Attribute) and getAttribute(ObjectName, String[]). However, to make this approach work I had to expose the attribute name when adding the mbean. It may not work when invoking remote mbean.
