Intro : The Java Management Extensions (JMX) API

Introduction
The JMX API is a standard API for management and monitoring of resources such as applications, devices, services, and the Java virtual machine.

Typical uses of the JMX technology include:

• Consulting and changing application configuration.

• Accumulating and publishing statistics about application behavior.

• Notifying users or applications of state changes and erroneous conditions.

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

Specifications
The JMX technology is developed through the Java Community Process (JCP). In JDK versions 5.0 and 6, the JMX technology was developed as Java Specification Request (JSR) 3, Java Management Extensions, and JSR 160, JMX Remote API. Evolutions of the JMX API and JMX Remote API in JDK version 7 are covered by JSR 255, JMX API 2.0...
