Issue description
From this forum thread: http://www.jppf.org/forums/index.php/topic,1618.0.html - point 2) The idea is that when the nodes are reachable from the driver, but not from the client, to enable the client to monitor and manage the nodes nonetheless, by forwarding jmx requests and notifications via the driver.

This implies several particular problems:
  • forwarding of JMX requests and handling of results
  • how to handle MBean proxies
  • how to handle notification listeners and notifications

Server can act as JMX proxy forwarding JMX traffic to JPPFNode. JMX ObjectName with prefix: nodeId

The article provides a good idea of the kind of design we should adopt. However, it uses APIs from the OpenDMK project, which seems pretty dormant now, it hasn't been updated since 2008.

Committed trunk revision 2592.

The simplest solution I found was to create a driver MBean that will forward JMX requests to the nodes, based on a node selector, so that requests may be delegated to any number of nodes at once. I defined 3 types of selectors: "all nodes" to forward the request to all the nodes currently attached to the server, execution-policy based selector, and a selector that takes a list of node uuids.

The MBean interface provides both generic method ("invoke", "getAttribute", "setAttribute") so it will work with any node MBean including custom ones, and specific methods that delegate to the corresponding methods of JPPFNodeAdminMBean

What remains to do is the registration of notfiication listeners and the handling of notifications.
