# Using JMX MBeans with OC4J and Application Server Control

### Outline

This set of how-to examples focus on the use of JMX and Management Beans (MBeans) within applications that are deployed to an OC4J instance.

OC4J 10g (10.1.3) contains a JMX 1.2 server implementation, enabling MBeans to be instantiated and executed by OC4J.

OC4J 10g (10.1.3) implements the J2EE Management specification (JSR77) which defines a set of standard managed objects for a J2EE container, enabling it to be represented and managed in a standard way.

OC4J10g (10.1.3) implements the J2EE Deployment API specification (JSR88) which provides a standard API for conducting deployment operations on a J2EE container.

In this how-to, you will build and deploy a set of MBeans to an OC4J 10g (10.1.3) instance and use Application Server Control (supplied with OC4J) to view and manipulate the MBeans.

Launch Application Server Control to view the MBeans.
