What is JMX?

1. Management and monitoring standard
2. Both local and remote management
3. Change settings at runtime
4. Event notification / timer
5. Dynamic class loading from XML files
6. Portable across application servers
7. Integrate with 3rd-party components
8. You can use JMX to load, initialize, change, and monitor your application and its distributed components.
9. JMX is a standard for managing and monitoring all varieties of software and hardware components from Java. In addition, JMX aims to provide integration with a large number of existing management standards, such as SNMP and WBEM.

Why JMX?

1. Custom configuration management is hard to implement and typically not reusable
2. App-server-specific solutions are proprietary and tie you to the vendor
3. JMX is a reusable and open framework for both local and remote configuration management that supports runtime querying/updates, monitoring, notifications, timers, class loading, etc.
