The MBeanNotificationInfo
class is used to describe the
characteristics of the different notification instances
emitted by an MBean, for a given Java class of notification.
If an MBean emits notifications that can be instances of different Java classes,
then the metadata for that MBean should provide an MBeanNotificationInfo
object for each of these notification Java classes.
Instances of this class are immutable. Subclasses may be
mutable but this is not recommended.
This class extends javax.management.MBeanFeatureInfo
and thus provides name
and description
fields.
The name
field should be the fully qualified Java class name of
the notification objects described by this class.
The getNotifTypes
method returns an array of
strings containing the notification types that the MBean may
emit. The notification type is a dot-notation string which
describes what the emitted notification is about, not the Java
class of the notification. A single generic notification class can
be used to send notifications of several types. All of these types
are returned in the string array result of the
getNotifTypes
method.
