Java Manageability Programming Interface - JMPI

Java Manageability Programming Interface (JMPI)

-----------------------------------------------

Author: Adrian Schuur, schuur@de.ibm.com - 30 Apr 2004 -

JMPI is a bridge between clients and providers written in Java and the Open

Pegasus project.

First installment

More information on JMPI's status can be found at

http://www.openpegasus.org/page.tpl?ggid=799

This installment of JMPI has been committed to the 2.4 branch.

This installment has been build and tested on Suse 9.0 with Sun's j2sdk 1.4.2_04.

Environment settings

--------------------

In order to build this support a few environment variables have to used.

The following script has been proven useful for setting up the build and execution environment.

You might need to adjust this to your system layout.

an example setJPeg script file:

export PEGASUS_HOME=`pwd`

export PEGASUS_ROOT=${PEGASUS_HOME}

export PEGASUS_PLATFORM=LINUX_IX86_GNU

export PEGASUS_ENABLE_CMPI_PROVIDER_MANAGER=1

export PEGASUS_ENABLE_CMPI_PROVIDER_MANAGER=true

export PEGASUS_ENABLE_JMPI_PROVIDER_MANAGER=1

export PEGASUS_ENABLE_JMPI_PROVIDER_MANAGER=true

export PEGASUS_DEBUG=1

export JAVA_SDK=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04

export JAVA_SDK=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_08

export JAVA_SDKINC=$JAVA_SDK/include

export JAVA_SDKINC=${JAVA_SDK}/include

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PEGASUS_HOME/lib:$JAVA_SDK/jre/lib/i386/server:$JAVA_SDK/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:$JAVA_SDK/jre/lib/i386

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${JAVA_SDK}/jre/lib/i386/server:${JAVA_SDK}/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:${JAVA_SDK}/jre/lib/i386

export PATH=$JAVA_SDK/bin:$PATH

export PATH=${JAVA_SDK}/bin/:${PEGASUS_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

export CLASSPATH=$PEGASUS_ROOT/src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI

export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${PEGASUS_HOME}/lib/JMPIImpl.jar

export PATH=$PEGASUS_HOME/bin:$PATH

export PEGASUS_ROOT=$PEGASUS_HOME

There is now a new variable to determine which JVM to link with. The choices are as follows:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

PEGASUS_JVM sun Sun's jvm (ex: j2sdk1.4.2_07)

cd $PEGASUS_HOME

PEGASUS_JVM ibm IBM's jvm (ex: IBMJava2-142)

PEGASUS_JVM bea Suse's IBM jvm (ex: BEAJava2-1.4.2)

So, pick one and export that variable to the environment. For example,

export PEGASUS_JVM=sun

NOTE: This is currently listened to for Linux builds. And the sun option was the only

tested version.

There are a couple of optional environment variables to determine how the JRE is initialized. These are

as follows (the variable name and what JRE option that it corresponds to):

PEGASUS_JMPI_MAX_HEAP -Xmx

PEGASUS_JMPI_INITIAL_HEAP -Xms

PEGASUS_JMPI_JAVA_THREAD_STACK_SIZE -Xss

So, for example, you would perform the following if you want to change the maximum heap size to 128 megabytes.

export PEGASUS_JMPI_MAX_HEAP=128m

There is a new optional environment variable that tells the JVM to output more debugging information. The variable name

is called PEGASUS_JMPI_VERBOSE. An example usage is as follows:

export PEGASUS_JMPI_VERBOSE="jni,class"

This will tell the JVM to output debug information on the JNI layer and class loading.

When using this script, place a copy of this script above your PEGASUS_HOME directory.

"cd" to PEGASUS_HOME, and issue ". ../setJPeg". Then do a normal make.

"cd" to PEGASUS_HOME, and issue ". ./setJPeg". Then do a normal make.

This installent has a number of restrictios:

Known restrictions

------------------

The provider interfaces follow the SNIA OpenWBEM APIs

This installment has the following restrictios:

Only Instance and Association providers are supported at the moment.

SetProperty and GetProperty CIM operations will crash cimserver

Jar support is not yet implemented - all classes must be accessable via the CLASSPATH variabe.

The Makefiles are not yet Pegasus conforming.

cimmofl must be used for provider registration.

Unloading of idle providers is not supported and Java will increase the memory footprint.

Java 1.5 is not currently supported.

poststarttests

Level of coverage

-----------------

This installment has a set of tests modelled after wetest/static. All tests work properly except

All interfaces to a provider have a sample provider written for them and are part of the

the Property tests. I had to modify "diff" to "diff -w", why that is needed I do not understand.

testcases. All main CIM java classes have testcases written for them as well.

Building poststarttests:

Outstanding issues

------------------

cd to .../src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/tests/Load

Java documentation needs to be written for the classes and methods within JMPI.

Issue "make"

This will load a schema to the repository and register the provider.

Testing

-------

This installment has a set of tests located under src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/tests/

Static/

These tests have been modelled after wetest/static.

For the tests, I had to modify "diff" to "diff -w", why that is needed I do not understand.

Providers/

These tests implement the many variants of provider interfaces.

Client/

These tests test out the client code and various Java classes.

Running the tests

-----------------

Tests are run with the following process.

If the repository has not been built before then issue the following:

cd to ${PEGASUS_HOME}/src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/

Issue "make repository"

This will load a schema to the repository and register the provider.

Running poststarttests:

Next, run the tests.

cd to .../src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/tests

cd to ${PEGASUS_HOME}/src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/

Issue "find -name "*.rsp" -exec rm {} \;" to clean up *.rsp files

Issue "find -name \*.rsp -exec rm {} \;" to clean up *.rsp files from failed tests.

Issue "make poststarttests"

Samples

-------

The provider used for posstarttest,

There are four sample providers located in

.../JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/test/JMPI_TestPropertyTypes/JMPI_TestPropertyTest.java is a working

${PEGASUS_HOME}/src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/tests/Providers/

example of how to code an JMPI tyle instance provider.

This directors also constains the required Makefile.

.../JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/sample contains more samples, one of which is an incomplete CIMClient

Associations/

sample.

Notice that all provider classes must be accessibe via the CASSPATH environment setting.

This provider implements an association provider.

Instances/

This provider implements an instance provider.

Indications/

This provider implements an indication provider.

Properties/

This provider implements a property provider.

There is also sample Java code that deals with CIM classes that is located in

${PEGASUS_HOME}/src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/JMPI/org/pegasus/jmpi/tests/Client/

Provider Registration

---------------------

JMPI providers are registered as usual. The Location property in P_ProviderModule has a special format.

JMPI providers are registered as usual. The Location property in PG_ProviderModule has a special format.

The format is: <jar-file-name>:<provider-class-name>

Although jar support is not yet working correctly, this format must be used. You should use cimmofl

JMPI providers now fall into two groups.

for registration untill cimmof is prepared for JMPI.

1) Legacy providers use:

InterfaceType = "JMPI"

and use one of the 3 following based on existing JMPI samples:

InterfaceVersion = "1.0.0";

InterfaceVersion = "2.0.0";

InterfaceVersion = "2.2.0";

Note that there is no difference in behavior in the three versions.

instance of PG_ProviderModule

{

Name = "JMPI_TestPropertyTypesModule";

Name = "JMPIInstanceProviderModule";

Location = "JMPI_TestPropertyTypes.jar:"

Location = "JMPIInstanceProvider.jar:Instances/JMPIInstanceProvider";

"org/pegasus/jmpi/tests/JMPI_TestPropertyTypes/JMPI_TestPropertyTypes";

Vendor = "OpenPegasus";

Vendor = "Pegasus Community";

Version = "2.0.0";

InterfaceType = "JMPI";

InterfaceVersion = "1.0.0";

};

2) New style providers use:

InterfaceType = "JMPIExperimental"

and:

InterfaceVersion = "0.0.1";

Bug reports

instance of PG_ProviderModule

{

Use normal Pegasus bugzilla procedures to report malfunctions.

Name = "JMPIExpInstanceProviderModule";

Location = "JMPIExpInstanceProvider.jar:Instances/JMPIExpInstanceProvider";

Vendor = "OpenPegasus";

Version = "2.0.0";

InterfaceType = "JMPIExperimental";

InterfaceVersion = "0.0.1";

};
