 | <p>Tomcat uses JMX MBeans as the technology for implementing | 
 | manageability of Tomcat.</p> | 
 |  | 
 | <p>The descriptions of JMX MBeans for Catalina are in the mbeans-descriptors.xml | 
 | file in each package.</p> | 
 |  | 
 | <p>You will need to add MBean descriptions for your custom components | 
 | in order to avoid a "ManagedBean is not found" exception.</p> | 
 |  | 
 | </section> | 
 |  | 
 | <section name="Adding MBean descriptions"> | 
 |  | 
 | <p>You may also add MBean descriptions for custom components in | 
 | an mbeans-descriptors.xml file, located in the same package as the class files | 
 | it describes.</p> | 
 |  | 
 | <p>The permitted syntax for the mbeans-descriptors.xml is defined by | 
 | the <a href="mbeans-descriptors.dtd">DTD</a> file.</p> |
