Package net.sf.ehcache.management Description

This package contains JMX MBeans and implementations for management of ehcache.

This implementation attempts to follow Sun's JMX best practices. See http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/mntr-mgmt/javamanagement/best-practices.jsp

JMX was packaged with Java in JDK1.5. Keeping all JMX stuff in this package prevents leakage of JMX concepts so that JMX does not become a required dependency for ehcache.

The package also enables a separation of concerns so that management does not get mixed with the implementation.

The client API is exposed through the ManagementService. Use ManagementService.registerMBeans(...) to register a selection of MBeans to the MBeanServer provided to the method.
