Description

JMX within the Java Broker has been deprecated for sometime. The REST interface is now mature and all management functions can be actioned through it.

• Remove the JMX plugin, all associated JMX modules and JMX tests.
• Refactor tests that use JMX management interface to test other Broker features (such as the ProducerFlowControlTest). There are eleven such tests.
• Consideration to needs to be given to the Broker Configuration Upgrader. It will need to remove JMX ports/plugins at encounters during a configuration upgrade, probably logging a warning that the management channel is no longer available.
