Abstract

A method is provided. The method composes management code in a platform independent managed object format. Further, the management code is utilized to manage at least one object. In addition, the management code transforms the management code into a plurality of portable management objects and a plurality of native management objects.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

composing management code in a platform independent managed object format, the management code being utilized to manage at least one object; and

transforming the management code into a plurality of portable management objects and a plurality of native management objects.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of portable management objects includes a plurality of portable interfaces.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of portable interfaces includes a proxy file.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of portable interfaces includes a stub file.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of native management objects includes J2EE JMX MBeans.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of native management objects includes WMI Objects.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the platform independent managed object format is XML.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one object is an enterprise module.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one object is a resource.

10. A system comprising:

a unit that composes management code in a platform independent managed object format;

a unit that transforms the management code into a plurality of portable management objects and a plurality of native management objects; and

a unit that assigns at least one console function to each of the portable management objects and native management objects.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one console function is utilized to manage a resource.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one console function is utilized to manage an enterprise module.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the platform independent managed object format is XML.

14. A machine readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed perform a method comprising:

composing management code in a platform independent managed object format, the management code being utilized to manage at least one object; and

transforming the management code into a plurality of portable management objects.

15. The machine readable medium of claim 14, wherein the method further comprises transforming the management code into a plurality of native management objects.

16. The machine readable medium of claim 15, wherein the plurality of native management objects includes J2EE JMX MBeans.

17. The machine readable medium of claim 15, wherein the plurality of native management objects includes WMI Objects.

18. The machine readable medium of claim 14, wherein the at least one independent managed object format is XML.

19. The machine readable medium of claim 14, wherein the at least one object is an enterprise module.

20. The machine readable medium of claim 14, wherein the at least one object is a resource.
