Editing Java Management Extensions (section)

{{Short description|Java technology}}
''' Java Management Extensions''' ('''JMX''') is a [[Java platform|Java]] technology that supplies tools for managing and monitoring [[Application software|application]]s, system objects, devices (such as [[computer printer|printers]]) and service-oriented networks. Those resources are represented by objects called MBeans (for ''[[#Managed beans|Managed Bean]]''). In the API, [[Class (computer science)|class]]es can be dynamically loaded and instantiated.
Managing and monitoring applications can be designed and developed using the Java Dynamic Management Kit.<ref>{{cite web |title=Overview of the Java Dynamic Management Kit |url=https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19698-01/816-7607/6mdjpi6v1/index.html |website=docs.oracle.com |access-date=January 12, 2021}}</ref>

JSR 003<ref>[http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=3 JSR 003: JavaTM Management Extensions (JMXTM) Specification]</ref> of the [[Java Community Process]] defined JMX 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. JMX 2.0 was being developed under JSR 255, but this JSR was subsequently withdrawn.<ref>[http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=255 JSR 255: JavaTM Management Extensions (JMXTM) Specification, version 2.0]</ref> The JMX Remote API 1.0 for remote management and monitoring is specified by JSR 160.<ref>[http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=160 JSR 160: JavaTM Management Extensions (JMX) Remote API]</ref> An extension of the JMX Remote API for Web Services was being developed under JSR 262.<ref>
