FWIW, I have written a JMX->SNMP plugin which is available here:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/xbean/sandbox/xbean-jmx/

I have not looked at WSDM yet, but it would be great to know whether an
abstraction layer is really needed or whether we could just use JMX
throughout. From an SNMP point of view, I don't think its a requirement that
we have an abstraction layer though. I will be sure to read the relavent
tuscany discussion though.

Seumas: been meaning to look at your patch, but I haven't had a chance yet
today. It is open on my desktop though :-)

Hi Seumas, sorry I did not follow the previous discussion of "JMX Changes"
very closely, I should have raised this concern early. I believe there is
still one concern needs to be addressed, which was mentioned by Willem, but
has not been paid enough attention to.

Basically, I agree it is possible to simply how CXF instrumentation works
by removing EventProcessor/EventListener, but I think we still need a good
discussion to decide whether or not we should make the core of CXF
instrumentation depends on JMX directly. CXF instrumentation was inherited
from Celtix, one of core concepts of Celtix instrumentation design is
"Instrumentation will have no hard dependency on any specific management
protocols, such as JMX", see [1]. To be honest, I am not sure if this is an
over design, as Celtix only has JMX supported anyway at the end of day, and
I do not see CXF has any immediate requirement to support management
protocols other than JMX, such as SNMP and WSDM. But this kind of capability
definitely appears interesting to me, and it is worth a good consideration
during the design, though the "common management model" approach proposed by
Celtix may not be the only way to achieve the goal. Back to couple months
ago, I was involved in a discussion in Tuscany on the topic of SCA
management where they have a requirement to support both JMX and WSDM for
Tuscany, see [2] [3] [4].
