Allow MBeanServerFactoryBean to specify PlatformMBeanServer explicitly [SPR-5909]

[spring-projects-issues]

Support Tech opened SPR-5909 and commented

Added on behalf of customer:

Add functionality to MBeanServerFactoryBean to be able to specify that the platform manager returned by MBeanServer (ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer()) be returned when a constant agent id such as "platform" is used rather than creating a new server or returning one based on an agent id.

To give some background on this:
MBeanServerFactory is useful for creating new MBeanServers with an agentid.
We are looking for a way to to get it to return the platform MBeanServer (ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer()) when given a special agentId.

This would help us use MBeanServerFactory consistently in shared environments (where several MBeanServers with different agentids are needed) and in single app per jvm environments (where there is only 1 MBeanServer generally, the platform one).

Currently we can only use MBeanServerFactory in the first case (shared environments).

MBeanServerFactoryBean returns the platform MBeanServer for agent id "" (empty String) now. Inventing a specific agent id could potentially conflict with an actual MBeanServer being named that way; the empty String seems to be fine in that respect.
