Abstract:
1. A system for instrumenting a system resource, comprising: a management application coupled to a network, wherein the management application is capable of generating a request associated with a standard management operation or a resource-specific action for managing the system resource, wherein the system resource is derived at least in part from a Common Information Model (CIM) and wherein the request is a WS-Management (Web Services-Management) request; an adaptor coupled to the network, wherein the adaptor is capable of answering the request to perform the standard management operation or the resource-specific action on the system resource by utilizing a Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) generated Extensible Markup Language (XML)-serializable Java bean to instrument the system resource as an MBean, wherein the MBean is generated from a plurality of JAXB-serializable Java beans including a first JAXB-serializable Java bean, a second JAXB-serializable Java bean, and a third JAXB-serializable Java bean and wherein the plurality of JAXB-serializable Java beans are generated utilizing a JAXB compiler; a servlet included in the adaptor, wherein the servlet is capable of receiving the request from the management application via the network; and a processor capable of receiving the request from the servlet and responding to the request by invoking the MBean to perform the standard management operation or the resource-specific action on the system resource, wherein the management application, the adaptor, and the processor are comprised of instructions which are executed by a computer.
