What's the different between JPDA and JMX?


I am trying to write a application monitoring tools, and I came across two standards, JPDA and JMX. They seems like some how similar to me. What's the different?


Solution

  • JPDA is used for debugging and JMX for monitoring. If you are developing a monitoring tool - the choice is obvious, unless your monitor is suppose to handle breakpoints, be notified on exceptions, etc.
