There are goods and bads to both sides to this. If we strictly follow JSR 77, which means we will use MEJB and are forced to have OpenEJB as a pre-req, we won't have to worry if our architecture is good or not (I hope this is right), because we're following a standard for monitoring and management. On the flip side, if we use JMX to get a hold of the statistics, we will be able to monitor any type of server. Doesn't necessarily have to be a Geronimo server either, as long as we can connect to it via JMX, which I think is a huge plus. With that said, I think if we decide to take the alternative JMX path, it can be changed later (even though this was originally how we implemented it). I think the important thing now, is to determine whether or not the monitoring plugin merits a place in trunk.
