[JMX-1] java.jmx: Invoke doesn't handle overloaded mbean methods

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:58:04 -0600

The invoke function in java.jmx won't work with overloaded mbean functions. This is because when you call invoke on an mbean operation you pass the method signature with the call. Our library always grabs the signature from the first operation with that name. If you try and invoke an overloaded method that isn't the first in the list, The parameter types/number won't match the signature that is passed and you'll get an exception.

I think perhaps the easiest/most non-intrusive solution is to add an 'invoke-with-signature' method and let the user pass in the parameter type list. I'm not exactly sure why we don't send the signature based on the parameters passed by the user anyway though. Perhaps the best solution is to just always do that.
