A simple agent that provides multi-management protocol
support, using SNMP, TL1, RMI, CORBA, HTTP, and HTML
to access the management information of any application,
can be built through Agent Toolkit. The generated multi-protocol
agents are compatible across all JMX implementations.
The key feature of multi-protocol agents is "Instrument
Once, Access Through Any Protocol". This is enabled
by using the rich set of protocol adaptors provided
by the Agent Toolkit.
Agent Toolkit provides a productive development environment
with powerful tools to assist developers in development,
instrumentation, and verification of multi-protocol
agents.
