Whats the difference between jmxri.jar, jboss-jmx-core.jar .

[ritesh]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me whats the difference/significance of these jmx related jars that are included in jboss and if they are pretty much independent or not?

1. jmxri.jar
2. jboss-jmx-core.jar
3. jboss-jmx-services.jar
4. JbossMX.jar ?

Thanks.

Hi,

jmxri.jar is Sun's reference implementation of jmx1.0
the only reason this is included with JBoss is because
Sun's HTML apadter requires some debug classes from this
jar.
Sun's reference implementation is a bit buggy,
look at the JBossMX testsuite, jmxri fails more than
40 tests :-(
jboss-jmx.jar (point 4) is our implementation. Much better :-)
jboss-jmx.jar = jboss-jmx-core.jar + jboss-jmx-services.jar

jboss-jmx-core.jar is our implementation minus "optional" services. The spec doesn't regard them as optional.

jboss-jmx-services.jar are the "optional" services.

Adrian
