I was recently talking to a user that was really interested in the
modular framework of the server. They really liked the idea of
jettisoning the EJB container and were also really interested in
monitoring the server. For those folks I'd suspect that JMX is the
right answer. Personally, I'd go with JMX and if someone wants to use
MEJB they should be able to.

Hi All,
There was a recent discussion on whether the monitoring plugin should
use JMX or MEJB to fetch Geronimo's statistics. Since we want to be
able to monitor any type of Geronimo server, including little-G, it is
not preferred that we have to pull in OpenEJB in order to monitor that
server. Therefore, the JMX method looks like a potential alternative,
because I do not think it will need to pull in any additional
components.
The idea of using JMX and MEJB is the same, and that is, we want to
get a hold of the MBeanServer to query that for statistics.
The concept of MEJB was defined in JSR-77, which is the only reason I
am hesitant to start migrating over to using the JMX method. Should we
strictly follow the JSR? or should we branch off and customize a
little?
Any thoughts or comments?

Viet
