Setting JMX attributes

Hi, I am using edge jruby edge (rev 9083) and I am trying to set a JMX
attribute. I can establish the connection and and read the variables no
problem. But, when I try to set them I get this exception.

Here is the code that is causing the exception:
JMX::MBean.find_by_name(“com.armorize:type=ScanEngine”).maximum_concurrent_scans=(1)(Using
the jmx4r gem for convience but even when I do not use jmx4r I get
the same exception see next command).
conn.set_attribute(ObjectName.getInstance(“com.armorize:type=ScanEngine”),
Attribute.new(“MaximumConcurrentScans”, 2))

Also I checked the MBean interface and I it is expecting an integer.

Thanks,

Josh

I hate to ask, but does it do the same from Java? I know JMX is pretty
painful to do from Java so I won’t fault you if you haven’t tried.

You might try pulling Tom Enebo’s JMX gem “gem install jmx” since it
works pretty well…then we could at least rule out whether it’s
specific to the library.

I just tried Tom Enebo’s JMX gem and using Java and the Java worked but
the
gem did not. It seams like the 2 is not getting cast right when it is
passed into JMX because when I was using java if I passed in a non
integer I
got the same exception. Is there anyway to force JRuby to convert the 2
to
an integer?

Perhaps try java.lang.Integer.new(2) in place of a raw 2. I notice
that Attribute.new accepts an Object as a parameter. I am not sure
how we pass our RubyFixnum over in that case, but I would still hope
it was getting unwrapped long/Long/int/Integer. If that works, then
let us know. This may be a JI bug.

Yeah, if it’s Object it probably gets passed as Long. If that angers
JMX, we may need to hack around it in the various JMX libraries until JI
is smarter about coercing (and even then, what do we coerce “2” to?
Byte? Short? Integer?).

Thanks to everybody for there help. The java.lang.Integer.new(2) did
the
trick.

Thanks,

Josh
