Developing an Agent
An agent lets administrative users monitor and manage a system of objects, which correspond to the moving parts of a software product. As an agent developer, your most important task is modeling that system of managed objects.
- Procedure
- Analyze the software product to understand its components and its administrative interactions. For detailed instructions, see
Analyzing a System of Managed Objects.
Your analysis produces a table and a diagram—artifacts that guide subsequent coding. For an example, see Example Analysis of Managed Objects for Tomcat.
- Translate your model into a Java program using the API constructs in the SDK.
