Description: Exposes monitoring information about a server's lifecycle. Remote clients as well as clients running within a server can access this information. An operation (task) to change a server's state will fork a separate thread to perform the actual work and immediately return an instance of this MBean to the caller. The caller can then use this MBean to track the task's progress as desired. Deprecation of MBeanHome and Type-Safe Interfaces This is a type-safe interface for a WebLogic Server MBean, which you can import into your client classes and access through weblogic.management.MBeanHome. As of 9.0, the MBeanHome interface and all type-safe interfaces for WebLogic Server MBeans are deprecated. Instead, client classes that interact with WebLogic Server MBeans should use standard JMX design patterns in which clients use the javax.management.MBeanServerConnection interface to discover MBeans, attributes, and attribute types at runtime.
