Accessing JMX via HTTP alternatives

We use MX4J to access JMX related operations/attributes via a web interface in the container itself. I wanted to know if there are alternatives that are available for it, since the last s开发者_C百科ervice release for MX4J was in 2006. I am basically looking to overcome limitations of MX4J in handling collections.

I was experimenting once with Jolokia and looks pretty cool. From the webpage:

Jolokia is an HTTP/JSON bridge for remote JMX access.

Definitely give it a try. I used it successfully to create an AJAX/JavaScript dashboard displaying configurable JMX metrics on refreshable charts.

I have been using jminix quite a while. I give it thumbs up, well worth a try!

You have MX4j and its HttpAdaptor

Ah sorry, just read the OP question properly, he mentions MX4j and asks for alternatives ... at least you have a link and screenshot now :-)

For posterity, I've recently added a little web server to my SimpleJMX package. It exposes beans from the platform MBeanServer to HTTP via Jetty if in the classpath. There is also text versions of all pages that make it easy to scrape.
