[Springnet-developer] JMX/JConsole like features in Spring.NET by leveraging WMI

[Erich E. <E.E...@di...>]

Hi all,

I investigated this a little bit. "WMI Studio" from the "WMI Tools" =
(google for it to download) seemed appealing since it provides JConsole =
like functionality. Although it is possible to export .NET classes via =
System.Management.Instrumentation to the WMI infrastructure, there are =
some important limitations (outlined here: =
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186136.aspx) - mostly that =
.NET types can't export methods and writable properties :-(

Thus all u can do is export property values to WMI clients (e.g. for =
monitoring apps). It would have been nice, if they didn't stop half way =
again... - according to some comments on msdn blogs, NET 3.5 still =
doesn't offer more support in this field.
