| Registration behavior | Explanation
| `REGISTRATION_FAIL_ON_EXISTING`
| `FAIL_ON_EXISTING`
| This is the default registration behavior. If an `MBean` instance has already been
registered under the same `ObjectName`, the `MBean` that is being registered is not
registered, and an `InstanceAlreadyExistsException` is thrown. The existing
`MBean` is unaffected.
| `REGISTRATION_IGNORE_EXISTING`
| `IGNORE_EXISTING`
| If an `MBean` instance has already been registered under the same `ObjectName`, the
`MBean` that is being registered is not registered. The existing `MBean` is
unaffected, and no `Exception` is thrown. This is useful in settings where
multiple applications want to share a common `MBean` in a shared `MBeanServer`.
| `REGISTRATION_REPLACE_EXISTING`
| `REPLACE_EXISTING`
| If an `MBean` instance has already been registered under the same `ObjectName`, the
existing `MBean` that was previously registered is unregistered, and the new
`MBean` is registered in its place (the new `MBean` effectively replaces the
previous instance).

The values in the preceding table are defined as constants on the `MBeanRegistrationSupport` class (the
`MBeanExporter` class derives from this superclass). If you want to change the default
registration behavior, you need to set the value of the
`registrationBehaviorName` property on your `MBeanExporter` definition to one of those
The values in the preceding table are defined as enums on the `RegistrationPolicy` class.
If you want to change the default registration behavior, you need to set the value of the
`registrationPolicy` property on your `MBeanExporter` definition to one of those
values.
The following example shows how to change from the default registration
behavior to the `REGISTRATION_REPLACE_EXISTING` behavior:
