Introduction Adding MBean descriptions
Introduction
Tomcat 5 uses JMX MBeans as the technology for implementing manageability of Tomcat. The descriptions of JMX MBeans for Catalina are in the mbeans-descriptor.xml file in each package. You will need to add MBean descriptions for your custom components in order to avoid a "ManagedBean is not found" exception.
Adding MBean descriptions
> You may also add MBean descriptions for custom components in a mbeans-descriptor.xml file, located in the same package as the class files it describes.
