JmxConnectionManager (OpenNMS 29.0.8 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultConnectionManager
```
public interface JmxConnectionManager
```
The connection manager is responsible to create a JmxServerConnector implementation according to the connectionName and establish a connection using that server connector.
If no JmxServerConnector could be used for a given connectionName the error handling is up to the implementation.
If a connection to a JMX Server could not be established the JmxConnectionManager may try again. If a connection manager supports retries is up to the implementation.

`JmxServerConnectionWrapper`	`connect(JmxConnectors connectionName, InetAddress ipAddress, Map<String,String> connectionProperties, JmxConnectionManager.RetryCallback retryCallback)`	Connects to the given `ipAddress` using the `JmxServerConnector` registered with `connectionString`.

  - connect
```
JmxServerConnectionWrapper connect(JmxConnectors connectionName,
                                   InetAddress ipAddress,
                                   Map<String,String> connectionProperties,
                                   JmxConnectionManager.RetryCallback retryCallback)
                            throws JmxServerConnectionException
```
    Connects to the given ipAddress using the JmxServerConnector registered with connectionString.
    If the connection to the server could not be established (e.g. no retries left) a JmxServerConnectionException is thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    connectionName - The JmxConnectors name of the connection. May be null.
    
    ipAddress - the address to connect to
    
    connectionProperties - properties for the connection (e.g. port, user, etc.)
    
    retryCallback - A callback, which should be called BEFORE creating the connection. May be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    A JmxServerConnectionWrapper for the MBeanServerConnection.
    
    Throws:
    
    JmxServerConnectionException - if the connection to the given ipAddress using the registered JmxServerConnector could not be established.
