Throw standard java exceptions vs. custom exceptions in custom jmx mbeans. If custom exceptions are thrown and they were not included on classpath when starting jconsole, a classNotFoundException will be thrown and the exception message will not be displayed. Java 6 Enhancements HOWTO Object naming MBean interface names must end with MBean, and the MBean class for the FooMBean interface must be called Foo. (You can lift this restriction by using a more advanced JMX feature, dynamic MBeans.) public interface FooMBean public class Foo Create and register MBean instance: Foo foo = new Foo(...); MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer(); Alternatively for JBoss: MBeanServer server = MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss(); server.registerMBean((FooMBean)foo, new ObjectName("myapp:type=foo,name=uniqueString")); Alternatively: server.registerMBean(foo, new ObjectName("topLevelNodeName:subNodeName=foo,subNode2Name=bar,mbeanName=uniqueNodeNameString")); In J...

With the Partition Manager shipped with Ubuntu 8.04, don't move empty partitions, it takes forever. Partition manager moves them sector by sector. Delete empty partitions and create new partitions which is very quick. All changes in partition manager are queued and then all run sequentially. If you move a partition left then right, it queues both actions and performs both which can take a long time. It doesn't evaluate changes and aggregate or eliminate unnecessary actions.
