Using tomcat 4.1, my web app packaged without JMX support classes (mx4j in my case) does not seem to have access to Tomcat's javax.management classes. That is, when I remove MX4J jars from my war file and deploy the war normally, when Tomcat's class loader loads the class within my webapp that contains my JMX stuff, I get a NotCompliantMBeanException.
I can copy Tomcat's mx4j jar files from server/lib to shared/lib and get the proper behavior, but this seems a bit hackish. Is there a way, and if so what is the right way, to gain access to Tomcat's JMX MBean server (and to javax.* classes) used by tomcat itself? Thx, Jim
