public VersionInfo getSoftwareVersion();

 

       2.      Bank

public VersionInfo getSoftwareVersion() {    return BankProperties.getSoftwareVersion(); }

<version-configuration-group name="SoftwareVersion">   <description ID="Software version">Software Version</description>   <data-collection>      <polled-by-monitor period="1" unit="MINUTE"/>   </data-collection> </version-configuration-group>

 

                            b.      monitor-tree

The monitoring framework expects a VersionInfo value for Version monitors, that is why the return value of the getSoftwareVersion() method is VersionInfo. This method is declared in the BankMBean interface and is implemented in the class Bank. In the monitor-semantics part of the monitor-configuration.xml a version-configuration-group is declared with name ‘SoftwareVersion’, which is used for creating the node in the monitor tree (the monitor-tree part in the XML).
