HowtogetAllClusterNodeDetailsusingJMXinJBossAS7.1.2
byAuthor_1underCluster,JbossAS7,JBossAS7,MBeans
Hi,

InJBossEAP5orAS6orpreviousreleasestherewasaconceptofPartitionNamewhichcouldbeused
to get the list of active cluster members, However in JBoss AS7 there is no concept of PartitionName
ratherinUDPmodethelusteringhappensbasedonthemulticastasddress(Clusteringcanbeachieved
usingTCPmodeofcommunicationaswell).Howevermanydeveloperswanttolistthenumberofactive
membersrunningaspartofaJBossAs7clusterprogramatically.
So in this example we will see how to write a simple JMX Code in order to access the cluster node
