Accessing the Oracle Universal Connection Pool MBean using JConsole

Now I am just tranistioning to the Oracle Universal Connection Pool I found that it has a useful MBean known as "UniversalConnectionPoolMBean" which you can view/manipulate with "jconsole" using JDK 1.6. Here is a screen shot of jconsole attached to the JVM which is has a Universal Connection Pool running within it. Once attached to the JVM access it as follows.

1. Click on the MBean tab
2. Click the + symbol for "oracle.ucp.admin.UniversalConnectionPoolMBean"
3. Click on the "Attributes" or "Methods" node and you can view/update the pool using that MBean

The javadoc for the MBean this can be found here.

In the example below I was using Oracle's UCP within a coherence cache server for write behind to an Oracle database.
