[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JMX on JBoss (JBoss/JMX)] - Re: Using the platform MBeanServer in jdk5 environments

[<ad...@jb...>]

Following up on http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1610

The issue is that to start the agent for jconsole "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"
we must have JBossJMX in the CLASSPATH rather than having ServerImpl
setup the system properties and classloader.

We cannot use Sun's MBeanServer because
1) We cannot plugin our UnifiedLoaderRepository
2) It does not do MBean context classloading
3) It is slow for Standard/ModelMBean (see the performance tests in the jmx module)
In fact when we did use Sun's MBeanServer in 2.4.x we had to implement performance
critical mbeans like the EJBContainer using DynamicMBeans. 

Other alternatives:
1) Write a listener for MBeanRegistration events that creates proxies from
the platform mbean server to the JBoss MBeanServer (a poor man's cascading MBeanServer)
2) Deploy a jmx remote connector in JBoss's MBeanServer and use the remote tab
to connect to it from jconsole (including adding the platform XMBeans to JBoss's MBeanServer).
