JEP review : JDK-8171311 - REST APIs for JMX

[Erik Gahlin]

Hi Harsha,

Looping in jmx-dev.

 > byte[], short[], int[], float[], double[]

Should long[] be included there as well?

 > The REST adapter will come with a simple and lightweight JSON parser.

Is this an internal parser or will it be exposed as an API?

If so, how does it relate to JEP 198: Light-Weight JSON API?
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/198

Will com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer be used to serve the requests?

Thanks
Erik
