- ## Method Details

  - ### newJMXConnectorServer

    JMXConnectorServer newJMXConnectorServer(JMXServiceURL serviceURL, Map<String,?> environment, MBeanServer mbeanServer) throws IOException

    Creates a new connector server at the given address. Each successful call to this method produces a different `JMXConnectorServer` object.

    Parameters:
      `serviceURL` - the address of the new connector server. The actual address of the new connector server, as returned by its `getAddress` method, will not necessarily be exactly the same. For example, it might include a port number if the original address did not.
      `environment` - a read-only Map containing named attributes to control the new connector server's behavior. Keys in this map must be Strings. The appropriate type of each associated value depends on the attribute.
      `mbeanServer` - the MBean server that this connector server is attached to. Null if this connector server will be attached to an MBean server by being registered in it.
    Returns:
      a `JMXConnectorServer` representing the new connector server. Each successful call to this method produces a different object.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `serviceURL` or `environment` is null.
      `IOException` - It is recommended for a provider implementation to throw `MalformedURLException` if the protocol in the `serviceURL` is not recognized by this provider, `JMXProviderException` if this is a provider for the protocol in `serviceURL` but it cannot be used for some reason or any other `IOException` if the connector server cannot be created.
