## javax.management.modelmbean
Class ModelMBeanInfoSupport

    java.lang.Object
      javax.management.MBeanInfo
          javax.management.modelmbean.ModelMBeanInfoSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable, ModelMBeanInfo, java.io.Serializable

public class ModelMBeanInfoSupport
extends MBeanInfo
implements ModelMBeanInfo, java.io.Serializable

This class represents the meta data for ModelMBeans. Descriptors have been added on the meta data objects.

Java resources wishing to be manageable instantiate the ModelMBean using the MBeanServer's createMBean method. The resource then sets the ModelMBeanInfo and Descriptors for the ModelMBean instance. The attributes and operations exposed via the ModelMBeanInfo for the ModelMBean are accessible from MBeans, connectors/adaptors like other MBeans. Through the Descriptors, values and methods in the managed application can be defined and mapped to attributes and operations of the ModelMBean. This mapping can be defined during development in a file or dynamically and programmatically at runtime.

Every ModelMBean which is instantiated in the MBeanServer becomes manageable: its attributes and operations become remotely accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBeanServer. A Java object cannot be registered in the MBeanServer unless it is a JMX compliant MBean. By instantiating a ModelMBean, resources are guaranteed that the MBean is valid. MBeanException and RuntimeOperationsException must be thrown on every public method. This allows for wrapping exceptions from distributed communications (RMI, EJB, etc.)

  Description copied from interface: `ModelMBeanInfo`
  Returns the ModelMBean's descriptor which contains MBean wide policies. This descriptor contains metadata about the MBean and default policies for persistence and caching.

  The fields in the descriptor are defined, but not limited to, the following:

       name           : MBean name
       descriptorType : must be "mbean"
       displayName    : name of attribute to be used in displays
       persistPolicy  : OnUpdate|OnTimer|NoMoreOftenThan|Always|Never
       persistLocation : The fully qualified directory name where the MBean should be persisted (if appropriate)
       persistFile    : File name into which the MBean should be persisted
       persistPeriod  : seconds - frequency of persist cycle for OnTime and NoMoreOftenThan PersistPolicy
       currencyTimeLimit : how long value is valid, <0 never, =0 always, >0 seconds
       log            : where t: log all notifications f: log no notifications
       logfile        : fully qualified filename to log events to
       visibility     : 1-4 where 1: always visible 4: rarely visible
       export         : name to be used to export/expose this MBean so that it is findable by
                        other JMX Agents.
       presentationString : xml formatted string to allow presentation of data to be associated with the MBean.

  The default descriptor is: name=mbeanName,descriptorType=mbean, displayName=this.getClassName(), persistPolicy=never,log=F,export=F,visibility=1 If the descriptor does not contain all these fields, they will be added with these default values.

  Note: because of inconsistencies in previous versions of this specification, it is recommended not to use negative or zero values for `currencyTimeLimit`. To indicate that a cached value is never valid, omit the `currencyTimeLimit` field. To indicate that it is always valid, use a very large number for this field.

  Specified by:
    `getMBeanDescriptor` in interface `ModelMBeanInfo`
  Returns:
    the MBean descriptor.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeOperationsException` - a `RuntimeException` occurred while getting the descriptor.
    `MBeanException` - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.
  See Also:
    `ModelMBeanInfo.setMBeanDescriptor(javax.management.Descriptor)`

### setMBeanDescriptor

    public void setMBeanDescriptor(Descriptor inMBeanDescriptor)
                            throws MBeanException,
                                   RuntimeOperationsException

  Description copied from interface: `ModelMBeanInfo`
  Sets the ModelMBean's descriptor. This descriptor contains default, MBean wide metadata about the MBean and default policies for persistence and caching. This operation does a complete replacement of the descriptor, no merging is done. If the descriptor to set to is null then the default descriptor will be created. The default descriptor is: name=mbeanName,descriptorType=mbean, displayName=this.getClassName(), persistPolicy=never,log=F,export=F,visibility=1 If the descriptor does not contain all these fields, they will be added with these default values. See `getMBeanDescriptor` method javadoc for description of valid field names.

  Specified by:
    `setMBeanDescriptor` in interface `ModelMBeanInfo`
  Parameters:
    `inMBeanDescriptor` - the descriptor to set.
  Throws:
    `MBeanException` - Wraps a distributed communication Exception.
    `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps an IllegalArgumentException for invalid descriptor.
