Class VmIdentifier

java.lang.Object
  sun.jvmstat.monitor.VmIdentifier

public class VmIdentifier
extends Object

An abstraction that identifies a target Java Virtual Machine. The VmIdentifier, or vmid, provides a convenient string representation of the information needed to locate and communicate with a target Java Virtual Machine. The string, based on a URI, may specify the communications protocol, host name, local vm identifier, and protocol specific information for a target Java Virtual Machine. The format for a VmIdentifier string is:

      [protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname][:port][/servername]
 

The only required component of this string is the Local Virtual Machine Identifier, or lvmid, which uniquely identifies the target Java Virtual Machine on a host. The optional components of the VmIdentifier include:

• protocol - The communications protocol. A VmIdentifier omitting the protocol must be resolved against a HostIdentifier using HostIdentifier.resolve(sun.jvmstat.monitor.VmIdentifier).

• hostname - A hostname or IP address indicating the target host. A VmIdentifier omitting the protocol must be resolved against a HostIdentifier using HostIdentifier.resolve(sun.jvmstat.monitor.VmIdentifier).

• port - The port for the communications protocol. Treatment of the port parameter is implementation (protocol) specific. A VmIdentifier omitting the protocol should be resolved against a HostIdentifier using HostIdentifier.resolve(sun.jvmstat.monitor.VmIdentifier).

• servername - The treatment of the Path, Query, and Fragment components of the VmIdentifier are implementation (protocol) dependent. A VmIdentifier omitting the protocol should be resolved against a HostIdentifier using HostIdentifier.resolve(sun.jvmstat.monitor.VmIdentifier).

All VmIdentifier instances are constructed as absolute, hierarchical URIs. The constructors will accept relative (and even some malformed, though convenient) URI strings. Such strings are transformed into legitimate, absolute URI strings.

With the exception of file: based VmIdentifier strings, all VmIdentifier strings must include a lvmid. Attempting to construct a non-file based VmIdentifier that doesn't include a lvmid component will result in a MonitorException.

Here are some examples of VmIdentifier strings.

• Relative URIs

• 1234 - Specifies the Java Virtual Machine identified by lvmid 1234 on an unnamed host. This string is transformed into the absolute form //1234, which must be resolved against a HostIdentifier.

• 1234@hostname - Specifies the Java Virtual Machine identified by lvmid 1234 on host hostname with an unnamed protocol. This string is transformed into the absolute form //1234@hostname, which must be resolved against a HostIdentifier.

• 1234@hostname:2099 - Specifies the Java Virtual Machine identified by lvmid 1234 on host hostname with an unnamed protocol, but with port 2099. This string is transformed into the absolute form //1234@hostname:2099, which must be resolved against a HostIdentifier.

• Absolute URIs

• rmi://1234@hostname:2099/remoteobjectname - Specifies the Java Virtual Machine identified by lvmid 1234 on host hostname accessed using the rmi: protocol through the rmi remote object named remoteobjectname as registered with the rmiserver on port 2099 on host hostname.

• file:/path/file - Identifies a Java Virtual Machine through accessing a special file based protocol to use as the communications mechanism.

Constructor Detail

VmIdentifier

public VmIdentifier(String uriString)
             throws URISyntaxException

Create a VmIdentifier instance from a string value.

Parameters:

uriString - a string representing a target Java Virtual Machine. The syntax of the string must conforms to the rules specified in the class documentation.

Throws:

URISyntaxException - Thrown when the uriString or its canonical form is poorly formed.

VmIdentifier

public VmIdentifier(URI uri)
             throws URISyntaxException

Create a VmIdentifier instance from a URI object.

Parameters:

uri - a well formed, absolute URI indicating the target Java Virtual Machine.

Throws:

URISyntaxException - Thrown if the URI is missing some required component.

Method Detail

getHostIdentifier

public HostIdentifier getHostIdentifier()
                                 throws URISyntaxException

Return the corresponding HostIdentifier for this VmIdentifier.

This method constructs a HostIdentifier object from the VmIdentifier. If the VmIdentifier is not specific about the protocol or other components of the URI, then the resulting HostIdentifier will be constructed based on this missing information. Typically, the missing components will have result in the HostIdentifier assigning assumed defaults that allow the VmIdentifier to be resolved according to those defaults.

For example, a VmIdentifier that specifies only a lvmid will result in a HostIdentifier for localhost utilizing the default local protocol, local:. A VmIdentifier that specifies both a vmid and a hostname will result in a HostIdentifier for the specified host with the default remote protocol, rmi:, using the protocol defaults for the port and servername components.

Returns:

HostIdentifier - the host identifier for the host containing the Java Virtual Machine represented by this VmIdentifier.

Throws:

URISyntaxException - Thrown if a bad host URI is constructed. This exception may get encapsulated into a MonitorException in a future version.
