<p>Provides the definition of the Relation Service. The
Relation Service is used to record relationships between
MBeans in an MBean Server. The Relation Service is itself an
MBean. More than one instance of a {@link
javax.management.relation.RelationService RelationService}
MBean can be registered in an MBean Server.</p>
<p>A <em>relation type</em> defines a relationship between MBeans.
It contains <em>roles</em> that the MBeans play in the
relationship. Usually there are at least two roles in a
relation type.</p>
<p>A <em>relation</em> is a named instance of a relation type,
where specific MBeans appear in the roles, represented by
their {@link javax.management.ObjectName ObjectName}s.</p>
<p>For example, suppose there are <code>Module</code> MBeans,
representing modules within an application. A
<code>DependsOn</code> relation type could express the
relationship that some modules depend on others, which could
be used to determine the order in which the modules are
started or stopped. The <code>DependsOn</code> relation type
would have two roles, <code>dependent</code> and
<code>dependedOn</code>.</p>
<p>Every role is <em>typed</em>, meaning that an MBean that
appears in that role must be an instance of the role's type.
In the <code>DependsOn</code> example, both roles would be of
type <code>Module</code>.</p>
<p>Every role has a <em>cardinality</em>, which provides lower
and upper bounds on the number of MBeans that can appear in
that role in a given relation instance. Usually, the lower
and upper bounds are both 1, with exactly one MBean appearing
in the role. The cardinality only limits the number of MBeans
in the role per relation instance. The same MBean can appear
in the same role in any number of instances of a relation
type. In the <code>DependsOn</code> example, a given module
can depend on many other modules, and be depended on by many
others, but any given relation instance links exactly one
<code>dependent</code> module with exactly one
<code>dependedOn</code> module.</p>
<p>A relation type can be created explicitly, as an object
implementing the {@link javax.management.relation.RelationType
RelationType} interface, typically a {@link
javax.management.relation.RelationTypeSupport
RelationTypeSupport}. Alternatively, it can be created
implicitly using the Relation Service's {@link
javax.management.relation.RelationServiceMBean#createRelationType(String,
RoleInfo[]) createRelationType} method.</p>
<p>A relation instance can be created explicitly, as an object
implementing the {@link javax.management.relation.Relation
Relation} interface, typically a {@link
javax.management.relation.RelationSupport RelationSupport}.
(A <code>RelationSupport</code> is itself a valid MBean, so it
can be registered in the MBean Server, though this is not
required.) Alternatively, a relation instance can be created
implicitly using the Relation Service's {@link
javax.management.relation.RelationServiceMBean#createRelation(String,
String, RoleList) createRelation} method.</p>
<p>The <code>DependsOn</code> example might be coded as follows.</p>
<pre>
import java.util.*;
import javax.management.*;
import javax.management.relation.*;
// ...
MBeanServer mbs = ...;
// Create the Relation Service MBean
ObjectName relSvcName = new ObjectName(":type=RelationService");
RelationService relSvcObject = new RelationService(true);
mbs.registerMBean(relSvcObject, relSvcName);
// Create an MBean proxy for easier access to the Relation Service
RelationServiceMBean relSvc =
MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(mbs, relSvcName,
RelationServiceMBean.class,
false);
// Define the DependsOn relation type
RoleInfo[] dependsOnRoles = {
new RoleInfo("dependent", Module.class.getName()),
new RoleInfo("dependedOn", Module.class.getName())
};
relSvc.createRelationType("DependsOn", dependsOnRoles);
// Now define a relation instance "moduleA DependsOn moduleB"
ObjectName moduleA = new ObjectName(":type=Module,name=A");
ObjectName moduleB = new ObjectName(":type=Module,name=B");
Role dependent = new Role("dependent", Collections.singletonList(moduleA));
Role dependedOn = new Role("dependedOn", Collections.singletonList(moduleB));
