java.lang.management
Interface RuntimeMXBean

All Superinterfaces:

PlatformManagedObject

public interface RuntimeMXBean
extends PlatformManagedObject

Disabled: no SafeJ information.

The management interface for the runtime system of the Java virtual machine.

A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation class of this interface. This instance implementing this interface is an MXBean that can be obtained by calling the ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean() method or from the platform MBeanServer method.

The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for the runtime system within an MBeanServer is:

java.lang:type=Runtime

It can be obtained by calling the PlatformManagedObject.getObjectName() method.

This interface defines several convenient methods for accessing system properties about the Java virtual machine.

Since:

1.5

Returns:

the version of the specification for the management interface implemented by the running Java virtual machine.

getClassPath

String getClassPath()

Class is disabled.

boolean isBootClassPathSupported()

Class is disabled.

getBootClassPath

String getBootClassPath()

Class is disabled.

Returns the boot class path that is used by the bootstrap class loader to search for class files.

Multiple paths in the boot class path are separated by the path separator character of the platform on which the Java virtual machine is running.

A Java virtual machine implementation may not support the boot class path mechanism for the bootstrap class loader to search for class files. The isBootClassPathSupported() method can be used to determine if the Java virtual machine supports this method.

Returns:

the boot class path.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine does not support this operation.

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").

getInputArguments

List<String> getInputArguments()

Class is disabled.

Returns the input arguments passed to the Java virtual machine which does not include the arguments to the main method. This method returns an empty list if there is no input argument to the Java virtual machine.

Some Java virtual machine implementations may take input arguments from multiple different sources: for examples, arguments passed from the application that launches the Java virtual machine such as the 'java' command, environment variables, configuration files, etc.

Typically, not all command-line options to the 'java' command are passed to the Java virtual machine. Thus, the returned input arguments may not include all command-line options.

MBeanServer access:
The mapped type of List is String[].

Returns:

a list of String objects; each element is an argument passed to the Java virtual machine.

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").

Returns:

start time of the Java virtual machine in milliseconds.

getSystemProperties

Map<String,String> getSystemProperties()

Class is disabled.

Returns a map of names and values of all system properties. This method calls System.getProperties() to get all system properties. Properties whose name or value is not a String are omitted.

The mapped type of Map is TabularData with two items in each row as follows:

Item Name	Item Type
key	String
value	String

Returns:

a map of names and values of all system properties.

Throws:
