Essential Agent responsibilities

Instantiate an MBeanserver

    mBeanServer = MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer();

Instantiate some MBeans and load them into the MBeanServer like

    mBeanServer.registerMBean(this, new ObjectName(
    "Jamama:type=JamamaJMXAgent"));

AND/OR

    mBeanServerConnection.createMBean("tst.SampleStd", new ObjectName("a:b=c"));

Some of these MBeans may be Protocol Adaptors. You could also use an MLet file to load MBeans (or implementation-specific load-by-config-file methods). See the API for MLet.

Load and initialize Connector(s)

    (JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(url,
            new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:jmxmp://localhost:2004"),
            mBeanServer)).start();

(As noted in the Distributed Services and Connectors chapter, if you use an rmi service instead of jmxmp, you will need to run an rmiregistry server in order for clients to be able to access your ConnectorServer).
