# Class RMIConnector

java.lang.Object
javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnector

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `Serializable`, `AutoCloseable`, `JMXAddressable`, `JMXConnector`

    public class RMIConnector
    extends Object
    implements JMXConnector, Serializable, JMXAddressable

A connection to a remote RMI connector. Usually, such connections are made using `JMXConnectorFactory`. However, specialized applications can use this class directly, for example with an `RMIServer` stub obtained without going through JNDI.

## Constructor Details

### RMIConnector

public RMIConnector​(JMXServiceURL url, Map<String,​?> environment)

Constructs an `RMIConnector` that will connect the RMI connector server with the given address.

The address can refer directly to the connector server, using the following syntax:

     service:jmx:rmi://[host[:port]]/stub/encoded-stub

(Here, the square brackets `[]` are not part of the address but indicate that the host and port are optional.)

The address can instead indicate where to find an RMI stub through JNDI, using the following syntax:

     service:jmx:rmi://[host[:port]]/jndi/jndi-name

An implementation may also recognize additional address syntaxes, for example:

     service:jmx:iiop://[host[:port]]/stub/encoded-stub

Parameters:
  `url` - the address of the RMI connector server.
  `environment` - additional attributes specifying how to make the connection. For JNDI-based addresses, these attributes can usefully include JNDI attributes recognized by `InitialContext`. This parameter can be null, which is equivalent to an empty Map.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if `url` is null.

### RMIConnector

public RMIConnector​(RMIServer rmiServer, Map<String,​?> environment)

Constructs an `RMIConnector` using the given RMI stub.

Parameters:
  `rmiServer` - an RMI stub representing the RMI connector server.
  `environment` - additional attributes specifying how to make the connection. This parameter can be null, which is equivalent to an empty Map.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if `rmiServer` is null.

## Method Details

### toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this object. In general, the `toString` method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read.

Overrides:
  `toString` in class `Object`
Returns:
  a String representation of this object.

### getAddress

public JMXServiceURL getAddress()

The address of this connector.

Specified by:
  `getAddress` in interface `JMXAddressable`
Returns:
  the address of this connector, or null if it does not have one.
Since:
  1.6

### connect

public void connect() throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `JMXConnector`

Establishes the connection to the connector server. This method is equivalent to `connect(null)`.

Specified by:
  `connect` in interface `JMXConnector`
Throws:
  `IOException` - if the connection could not be made because of a communication problem

### connect

public void connect​(Map<String,​?> environment) throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `JMXConnector`

Establishes the connection to the connector server.

If `connect` has already been called successfully on this object, calling it again has no effect. If, however, `JMXConnector.close()` was called after `connect`, the new `connect` will throw an `IOException`.

Otherwise, either `connect` has never been called on this object, or it has been called but produced an exception. Then calling `connect` will attempt to establish a connection to the connector server.

Specified by:
  `connect` in interface `JMXConnector`
Parameters:
  `environment` - the properties of the connection. Properties in this map override properties in the map specified when the `JMXConnector` was created, if any. This parameter can be null, which is equivalent to an empty map.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if the connection could not be made because of a communication problem
