Extending the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 administrative system
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Is it possible to extend the WebSphere® Application Server V5.0 administrative system with custom MBeans?
 
Resolving the problem
Yes, you can extend the WebSphere Application Server administration system by supplying and registering new Java™ Management Extensions (JMX™) MBeans in one of the WebSphere processes.
JMX MBeans represent the management interface for a particular piece of logic. All of the managed resources within the standard WebSphere Application Server V5.0 infrastructure are represented as JMX MBeans.

There are a variety of ways in which you can create your own MBeans and register them with the JMX MBeanServer running in any WebSphere process. Refer to the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 Information Center for more details on the specific APIs.

There is also a series of articles on IBM® developerWorks®, titled "System Administration for WebSphere Application Server V5", which discusses working with JMX and MBeans in WebSphere Application Server.
