MXBean is a special kind of MBean s. The main difference is that MXBean restricts data types so that they are "more compatible" with potential customers.

As an example: a MBean can expose attributes of the Foo data type. Now the client must also have this type of Foo in order to understand the attribute.

MXBean trying to restrict data types to those "already available" - java.lang.* , Etc.

MXBean is an MBean that is limited to open types, mostly primitive types, strings, and their compositions. Due to these limitations, MXBean can be used without loading classes, which makes them compatible even with non-Java clients. You can find the specification here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/management/package-summary.html#package_description

MBeans can be any of java objects in which we can store / retrieve Serializable/Externalizable objects using methods. Based on the design pattern used in objects, we can distinguish between standard (static) and dynamic. It is recommended that you maintain the interface class name with the MBean suffix

MXBeans refers only to a predefined set of types. It is recommended that you maintain the interface class name labeled MXBean . Implements the Dynamic or cusotmized JavaBean interface. Using MXBean, we can help any client use MBeans.
