Hi,

Can you tell me where exactly JMX is used in fusion middleware?

Thanks

Jeroen,

I had forgotten about that article. It is pretty good actually! You were way ahead of me in describing the possibilities of using JMX as well as the combination with Spring. Seems that I do not have to travel to San Francisco to learn interesting things, I can just ask my colleagues. Can you/we do session on JMX sometime on an AMIS Academy or KC session? There seem to be so many opportunities for using JMX (now that I have the solution, I can think up a substantial number of problems that it can solve).

Have you looked at Glassbox? That really looks interesting!

“Is Log4J JMX enabled in a sense that we can dynamically change the logging levels for our loggers – through an MBean – rather than changing the config file and restarting the application?”

Log4J should be JMX enabled, but I think it is still not production ready. However, there is a way that you can change the logging levels while your application is running. I even tried it and wrote a blog entry about it: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1238
The article also handles the MBeans in Spring, but without annonations.
