Week 12 - Status Report

21/01/2002 - 27/01/2002

Log

• Switched to Sun's reference JMX implementation since their agent was written in Java unlike IBM's which required Solaris or Windows.
• Completed first version of the rule server and all its components (engine, abstract rule, jar handling tools). Extracting classes from the jar files and instantiating class objects from them provided harder than I had originally anticipated. I located some examples on the web and wrote a class to extract resources from a jar file in the form of byte arrays and another class to act as a classloader to create the objects.
• Tests for this component have yet to be written due to the unexpected jar handling classes that needed to be written.
• Haven't implemented a rule yet, but I'm satisfied that the abstract rule class is comprehensive enough to allow the derived classes worry about applying the logic of their rule.
