Instances of this interface are created by {@link 0N/A * JMXConnectorFactory} as part of its {@link 0N/A * JMXConnectorFactory#newJMXConnector(JMXServiceURL, Map) 0N/A * newJMXConnector} method.</p> 0N/A * <p>Creates a new connector client that is ready to connect 0N/A * to the connector server at the given address. Each successful 0N/A * call to this method produces a different 0N/A * <code>JMXConnector</code> object.</p> 0N/A * @param serviceURL the address of the connector server to connect to. 0N/A * @param environment a read-only Map containing named attributes 0N/A * to determine how the connection is made. Keys in this map must 0N/A * be Strings. The appropriate type of each associated value 0N/A * depends on the attribute.</p> 0N/A * @return a <code>JMXConnector</code> representing the new 0N/A * connector client. Each successful call to this method produces 0N/A * a different object. 0N/A * @exception NullPointerException if <code>serviceURL</code> or 0N/A * <code>environment</code> is null. 0N/A * @exception IOException It is recommended for a provider 0N/A * implementation to throw {@code MalformedURLException} if the 0N/A * protocol in the {@code serviceURL} is not recognized by this 0N/A * provider, {@code JMXProviderException} if this is a provider 0N/A * for the protocol in {@code serviceURL} but it cannot be used 0N/A * for some reason or any other {@code IOException} if the 0N/A * connection cannot be made because of a communication problem.
