## Class JMXConnectorServerFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorServerFactory

-     public class JMXConnectorServerFactory
      extends Object

  Factory to create JMX API connector servers. There are no instances of this class.

  Each connector server is created by an instance of `JMXConnectorServerProvider`. This instance is found as follows. Suppose the given `JMXServiceURL` looks like `"service:jmx:protocol:remainder"`. Then the factory will attempt to find the appropriate `JMXConnectorServerProvider` for `protocol`. Each occurrence of the character `+` or `-` in `protocol` is replaced by `.` or `_`, respectively.

  A provider package list is searched for as follows:

  1. If the `environment` parameter to `newJMXConnectorServer` contains the key `jmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs` then the associated value is the provider package list.
  2. Otherwise, if the system property `jmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs` exists, then its value is the provider package list.
  3. Otherwise, there is no provider package list.

  The provider package list is a string that is interpreted as a list of non-empty Java package names separated by vertical bars (`|`). If the string is empty, then so is the provider package list. If the provider package list is not a String, or if it contains an element that is an empty string, a `JMXProviderException` is thrown.

  If the provider package list exists and is not empty, then for each element `pkg` of the list, the factory will attempt to load the class

  > `pkg.protocol.ServerProvider`

  If the `environment` parameter to `newJMXConnectorServer` contains the key `jmx.remote.protocol.provider.class.loader` then the associated value is the class loader to use to load the provider. If the associated value is not an instance of `ClassLoader`, an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown.

  If the `jmx.remote.protocol.provider.class.loader` key is not present in the `environment` parameter, the calling thread's context class loader is used.

  If the attempt to load this class produces a `ClassNotFoundException`, the search for a handler continues with the next element of the list.

  Otherwise, a problem with the provider found is signalled by a `JMXProviderException` whose `cause` indicates the underlying exception, as follows:

  - if the attempt to load the class produces an exception other than `ClassNotFoundException`, that is the cause;
  - if `Class.newInstance()` for the class produces an exception, that is the cause.

  If no provider is found by the above steps, including the default case where there is no provider package list, then the implementation will use its own provider for `protocol`, or it will throw a `MalformedURLException` if there is none. An implementation may choose to find providers by other means. For example, it may support the JAR conventions for service providers, where the service interface is `JMXConnectorServerProvider`.

  Every implementation must support the RMI connector protocol with the default RMI transport, specified with string `rmi`. An implementation may optionally support the RMI connector protocol with the RMI/IIOP transport, specified with the string `iiop`.

  Once a provider is found, the result of the `newJMXConnectorServer` method is the result of calling `newJMXConnectorServer` on the provider.

  The `Map` parameter passed to the `JMXConnectorServerProvider` is a new read-only `Map` that contains all the entries that were in the `environment` parameter to `JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer`, if there was one. Additionally, if the `jmx.remote.protocol.provider.class.loader` key is not present in the `environment` parameter, it is added to the new read-only `Map`. The associated value is the calling thread's context class loader.

    - #### DEFAULT_CLASS_LOADER

          public static final String DEFAULT_CLASS_LOADER

      Name of the attribute that specifies the default class loader. This class loader is used to deserialize objects in requests received from the client, possibly after consulting an MBean-specific class loader. The value associated with this attribute is an instance of `ClassLoader`.

          public static JMXConnectorServer newJMXConnectorServer(JMXServiceURL serviceURL,
                                                                 Map<String,?> environment,

                                                          throws IOException

      Creates a connector server at the given address. The resultant server is not started until its `start` method is called.

      Parameters:
        `serviceURL` - the address of the new connector server. The actual address of the new connector server, as returned by its `getAddress` method, will not necessarily be exactly the same. For example, it might include a port number if the original address did not.
        `environment` - a set of attributes to control the new connector server's behavior. This parameter can be null. Keys in this map must be Strings. The appropriate type of each associated value depends on the attribute. The contents of `environment` are not changed by this call.
        `mbeanServer` - the MBean server that this connector server is attached to. Null if this connector server will be attached to an MBean server by being registered in it.
      Returns:
        a `JMXConnectorServer` representing the new connector server. Each successful call to this method produces a different object.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `serviceURL` is null.
        `IOException` - if the connector server cannot be made because of a communication problem.
        `MalformedURLException` - if there is no provider for the protocol in `serviceURL`.
        `JMXProviderException` - if there is a provider for the protocol in `serviceURL` but it cannot be used for some reason.
