[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ISPN-754) Build object names that follow best practices, are clearer and avoid confusion

Build object names that follow best practices, are clearer and avoid confusion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: ISPN-754 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-754 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Task Components: JMX, reporting and management Reporter: Galder Zamarreño Assignee: Galder Zamarreño Fix For: 4.2.0.BETA1, 4.2.0.Final CacheManager JMX object names need revisiting to better follow best practices (http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/mntr-mgmt/javamanagement/bes...) and enable easier identification in multi CacheManager environments. At the moment, cache managers follow this pattern: *:cache-name="[global]",jmx-resource=CacheManager and in app server environments, we can find these names deployed: [infinispan4:cache-name="[global]",jmx-resource=CacheManager, infinispan3:cache-name="[global]",jmx-resource=CacheManager, infinispan:cache-name="[global]",jmx-resource=CacheManager, infinispan2:cache-name="[global]",jmx-resource=CacheManager] Suggestions: 1. As per best practices, the ON should start with the java package name, so preferably the default domain name should be: org.infinispan. 2. Every ON should contain a type=key for each object type. In Infinispan, we differentiate between CacheManager and Cache, so accordingly, we should have: type=CacheManager and type=Cache 3. A name property should be available to differentiate each ON of a particular type. cache-name is not good for this cos it's only meaningful at the cache level and can confuse people searching for CacheManager instances. I think it's good that we keep a jmxDomain optionally configurable, but we should add name to globalJmxStatistics configuration to define the cache manager name and to avoid confusion with domain redefinition. The end result for a CacheManager object name would be: org.infinispan:type=CacheManager,name="Hibernate2LC" org.infinispan:type=CacheManager,name="HttpSession" org.infinispan:type=CacheManager,name="Ejb3SfsbState" ...etc At the cache level, currently JMX names would look like: infinispan:cache-name="MyCache(local)",jmx-resource=Cache This should be transformed into something along the lines of: org.infinispan:type=Cache,mode=local,name="MyCache"
