I need to define and implement an MXBean interface. One of the methods would return a Collection. This seems to be not supported by MXBeans. I get an OpenDataException saying “Cannot convert type: java.util.Collection”. If I change it to List or Set then it works.
I have not found any documentation saying that Collections are not supported and this is why I am asking you experts. Do I miss something ?
The javadoc of the MXBean annotation describes in detail the mapping rules. List, Set, SortedSet are supported but not Collection.
