= Mbean Auto Registration

This example shows how to automatically create and register mbeans using
TomEE features.

== Dependencies

To be able to use it you need to import the mbean api (annotations):

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
  <artifactId>mbean-annotation-api</artifactId>
  <version>4.5.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
----

== The MBean

The mbean implements a simple game where the goal is to guess a number.

It allows the user to change the value too.

[source,java]
----
package org.superbiz.mbean;

import javax.management.Description;
import javax.management.MBean;
import javax.management.ManagedAttribute;
import javax.management.ManagedOperation;

@MBean
@Description("play with me to guess a number")
public class GuessHowManyMBean {
    private int value = 0;

    @ManagedAttribute
    @Description("you are cheating!")
    public int getValue() {
        return value;
    }

    @ManagedAttribute
    public void setValue(int value) {
        this.value = value;
    }

    @ManagedOperation
    public String tryValue(int userValue) {
        if (userValue == value) {
            return "winner";
        }
        return "not the correct value, please have another try";
    }
}
----

To register a MBean you simply have to specify a property either in
system.properties, or in intial context properties.

[source,java]
----
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("openejb.user.mbeans.list", GuessHowManyMBean.class.getName());
EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties);
----

== Accessing the MBean

Then simply get the platform server and you can play with parameters and
operations:

[source,java]
----
package org.superbiz.mbean;

import org.junit.Test;

import javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer;
import javax.management.Attribute;
import javax.management.MBeanInfo;
import javax.management.MBeanServer;
import javax.management.ObjectName;
import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
import java.util.Properties;

import static junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals;

public class GuessHowManyMBeanTest {
    private static final String OBJECT_NAME = "openejb.user.mbeans:group=org.superbiz.mbean,application=mbean-auto-registration,name=GuessHowManyMBean";

    @Test
    public void play() throws Exception {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("openejb.user.mbeans.list", GuessHowManyMBean.class.getName());
        EJBContainer container = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties);

        MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
        ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName(OBJECT_NAME);
        MBeanInfo infos = server.getMBeanInfo(objectName);
        assertEquals(0, server.getAttribute(objectName, "value"));
        server.setAttribute(objectName, new Attribute("value", 3));
        assertEquals(3, server.getAttribute(objectName, "value"));
        assertEquals("winner", server.invoke(objectName, "tryValue", new Object[]{3}, null));
        assertEquals("not the correct value, please have another try", server.invoke(objectName, "tryValue", new Object[]{2}, null));

        container.close();
    }
}
----

=== Note

If OpenEJB can’t find any module it can’t start. So to force him to
start even if the example has only the mbean as java class, we added a
`beans.xml` file to turn our project into a Java EE module.
