Implementing an Adaptor

An adaptor is an abstraction of a communications protocol. This means that the communication mechanism between agent and manager is hidden. The adaptors provided by the Java Dynamic Management Kit are implemented as m-beans. This enables them to be managed. The Java Dynamic Management Kit does not require an adaptor to conform to a specific interface definition or implementation. However, an adaptor must be able to access the framework to retrieve and change information in m-beans in an agent.
