Description
* Support key=* wildcard in ObjectName
  Currently can say "domain:key1=value1,*" to match MBeans that
  have key1=value1 in their name, but not "domain:key1=*" to match
  MBeans that have key1 in their name.  People have asked for this
  functionality.  Note only the exact wildcard "*" would be supported.
Comments
EVALUATION Requires parallel changes between ObjectName and the MBean server. ###@###.### 2002-07-19 Delayed to next release. too risky to implements this for current maintenance release. ###@###.### 2002-08-22 It might be worth extending the functionality so that you can put a wildcard anywhere in a value, e.g. say key=a*b as well as just plain key=*. We anticipated this in the ObjectName spec by saying that * and ? must be escaped with \ even if they appear inside quotes. So for example you could say dn="a/b/*" to match all names that have a dn key with a value that begins with "a/b/". ###@###.### 2004-11-08 10:23:31 GMT

WORK AROUND Put a "type=whatever" in every ObjectName.
