It really is the way to go for publishing server-side statistics in a Java environment. These statistics can then be viewed in any JMX enabled tool, or using a JMX to SNMP bridge, an SNMP tool. All enterprise class monitoring tools watch SNMP statistics, a few speak JMX. Some J2EE app. servers include JMX monitors and Sun has a reference implementation.
It is hard to see why any effort aimed at producing a range of James server stats. should be doing anything other than publishing them via JMX. Maybe open-source JMX monitors exist? I don't know, but leveraging or developing one would be better than developing a James specific monitoring tool. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
