Jakarta Management, previously known as J2EE Management, represents a Java specification request (JSR-77) that standardizes the management of Jakarta EE servers. It provides an abstraction of the manageable components within the Jakarta EE architecture and establishes a standardized interface for retrieving management data. This facilitates system administrators in incorporating Jakarta EE servers into broader system management frameworks and enables developers to create tailored management solutions.
The objective of JSR 77 is to deliver a well-defined framework for implementing instrumentation and accessing information within the Jakarta EE environment. It specifies a uniform API designed for monitoring and managing platform resources. The implementation is carried out at the level of the application server for enterprise applications and at the web container level for web-based modules.
Jakarta Management was discontinued starting with Jakarta EE 9.
Overview
The model defined by Jakarta Management outlines the attributes, operations, and structural design for managed objects within compliant Jakarta EE platforms. Its architecture supports compatibility with widely adopted industry management systems and communication protocols.
The Management EJB (MEJB) component provides standardized remote access to Jakarta EE application elements and is required in all conforming implementations. Additionally, the specification includes mappings of its model to the CIM/WBEM Common Information Model (CIM) as well as to the SNMP Management Information Base (MIB), although implementing support for SNMP and CIM/WBEM remains optional.
The most recent release of JSR-77 is version 1.1, which was published on 8 May 2006.
