I wrote a CDI extension that processes some of the proposed javax.management annotions. These didn't make it into Java 7 but will hopefully appear in Java 8.
Here is a coding example:
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.management.Description;
import javax.management.Impact;
import javax.management.MBean;
import javax.management.MBeanServer;
import javax.management.ManagedAttribute;
import javax.management.ManagedOperation;
import javax.management.NotificationInfo;
import javax.management.NotificationInfos;
import javax.management.ObjectNameTemplate;
@MBean
@Description("counts")
@ObjectNameTemplate(":type=Counter,name={Name}")
@NotificationInfos(
{@NotificationInfo(types="java.lang.Integer",description=@Description("note"),notificationClass=Void.class)}
)
@OnDemand
public class Counter implements CounterMBean {
@Inject
private MBeanServer server;
private int counter;
private String name;
@ManagedOperation(impact=Impact.ACTION)
@Description("Resets the counter to zero")
public void resetCounter() {
counter = 0;
}
Basically the extension finds all the @MBeans and registers/unregisters them, with the appropriate name and descriptions, etc.
This extension works well for me, but I don't know if something is already in the works or there really isn't any more interest in CDI extensions. (The http://seamframework.org/Community/CDIExtensions site seems a bit...inactive.)
