Problem summary

  • OpenJ9's GarbageCollectorMXBeans include notification emitters
    which have names like:
    java.lang:name=global,type=GarbageCollector
    java.lang:name=scavenge,type=GarbageCollector
    Note that the type of collection is included in the
    "name" property.
    If an application then registers notification listeners for
    these beans, the notifications it receives have sources with the
    following generic ObjectName:
    java.lang:type=GarbageCollector
    Note that the name property is not present.
    This can cause problems because an application may expect the
    source of the notification to exactly match the ObjectName of
    the bean it was emitted from.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
