Java Management Extensions (JMX)

The Java^TM Management Extensions (JMX^TM) API is a standard API introduced in J2SE 5.0 for management and monitoring of resources such as applications, devices, services, and the Java virtual machine. The JMX technology was developed through the Java Community Process (JCP) as Java Specification Request (JSR) 3, Java Management Extensions, and JSR 160, JMX Remote API.
Typical uses of the JMX technology include:

Consulting and changing application configuration

Accumulating statistics about application behavior and making them available

Notifying of state changes and erroneous conditions.

The JMX API includes remote access, so a remote management program can interact with a running application for these purposes.

API Specification
Online documentation for all JMX packages, classes and members of the agent and instrumentation RI, as generated by the Javadoc tool.
