[Springframework-developer] Spring JMX

[Rob H. <ro...@ca...>]

All,

I have the basics of some JMX support for Spring which, with consent, I 
would like to check into sandbox. Currently the configuration supports 
exposure of any Spring bean as JMX MBean using Model MBeans. The class 
model supports the notion of a metadata assembler which is responsible 
for creating the Model MBean metadata and also the notion of an invoker 
which is responsible for invoking methods on the managed resource.

Currently I have a metadata assembler that uses reflection and exposes 
all methods as JMX operations and all JavaBean style properties as JMX 
attributes. I plan to have an assembler based on Commons Attributes 
that allows for more control over bean exposure. I have two invokers, 
one that uses simple reflection and the other that uses Cglib.

I want to get this in and see what everyone thinks and gather some more 
input. Most of this week is taken up for me with spec drafting and a 
move to a new office, but next week I will be in a position to put in 
4-5 solid days on the JMX integration.
