Expose channel and protocols via JMX. This is done via JMXBridge:

public staic void exposeChannel(Channel ch,
MBeanServer server,
ObjectName rootName);

exposeChannel() creates JMX adapters for the Channel and all relevant Protocols, possibly also for the ProtocolStack and registers them with the MBeanServer.

E.g. for JChannel, we have

• JChannelMBean and JChannel

For a protocol, e.g. UNICAST, we have

• UNICASTMBean and UNICAST

All adapter class must reside in a new package org.jgroups.jmx.

All attributes and operations to be exposed must be added to JChannel, ProtocolStack and the Protocols. Example: NAKACK would have

• getRetransmissionCount() [attr]
• resetRetransmissionCount() [op]
• etc

There is also an unexposeChannel() methods which unregisters the previously registered Channel.

Requirement: this must run in JBossAS, and in standalone JDK 5.
