JBoss Cache provides an MBean that allows JMX access to a cache instance. This MBean is accessible from an MBean server through the service name specified in the cache instance's configuration. For example, the Tomcat clustering cache instance is accessible through the service named "jboss.cache:service=TomcatClusteringCache." This MBean can be used to perform most cache operations via JMX.

JBoss Cache also provides MBeans for each interceptor configured in the cache's interceptor stack. These MBeans are used to capture and expose statistics related to cache operations. They are hierarchically associated with the cache's primary MBean and have service names that reflect this relationship. For example, a replication interceptor MBean for the TomcatClusteringCache instance will be accessible through the service named "jboss.cache:service=TomcatClusteringCache,treecache-interceptor=ReplicationInterceptor."
