Chapter 35. Howto: JSR 160 Support in JOnAS

This chapter is for the management application developer or administrator who intends to use standard JMX RMI connectors to access an MBean Server running on a JOnAS server.

35.1. What is JSR 160?

The JSR 160 is a Java Management Extension (JMX) Remoting specification that extends the JSR 3 specification by providing a standard API to connect to remote JMX-enabled applications.

Currently, JSR 160 has defined a mandatory connector based on RMI (that supports both RMI/JRMP and RMI/IIOP).

Support for JSR 160 connectors in JOnAS is based on the MX4J JMX implementation (see http://mx4j.sourceforge.net/).
