Re: [Mc4j-development] MC4J supported server road map

[Greg H. <gh...@sa...>]

Hi. Its a bit difficult to promise final support for these servers as 
it highly depends on when those teams accomplish some of their stated 
plans. For example, JBoss 4 is expected to ship using JMX Remoting (JSR 
160) style support, but doesn't include it yet in the developer 
releases. It currently only has the proprietary RMI connector from the 
3.x series, but not at the same JNDI name as in 3.x.

As for Tomcat 5 standalone, they've also stated the desire to support 
JMX Remoting and have even included the libraries in their releases. As 
best I can tell though, they are not yet supporting the ability to 
register a connector that I would need to connect to. For now, it can 
be done with MX4J's proprietary connectors.


In the meantime i'll release "working" support for both of these setups 
in the next week or so. I've got it working locally and its just a few 
tweaks to the setup of those servers that i'll include in the new 
documentation. The final 1.2 release will probably be another month 
past that depending on how the new features fly. (I'll be including a 
lot of new server support including WebSphere 5 and the above 
mentioned.)
