Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

Exposing jmx through jmxmp and reading the jmx data with groovy

groovy.png

In my previous post, “Using JMX within a spring application“, I talked about monitoring your application with jmx. I discussed exposing beans with spring. At one of my current projects I am having problems exposing jmx through the default jmxrmi protocol. In his whitepaper about jmx, Allard mentiones another protocol, jmxmp. Spring has support for this remoting protocol as well. Therefore I wanted to try this out.

Another thing I wanted to experiment with is creating a groovy client. The technique with interfaces and proxies with spring as described in my previous post is  a lot of work when you are interested in a little bit of data. Therefore I wanted to see if using groovy is easier.

This blog post discusses these two topics with respect to JMX.

I have just upgraded the wordpress software to version 3. It all seemed to work fine. However I noticed errors in the archive pages. Therefore I wanted to upgrade to the latest and greatest atahualpa theme that I use for my blog. I should [...]

Using JMX within a spring application

Lately I have been doing a lot with JMX. I use it more and more to check what my application is doing. I use it to monitor tomcat, the cache, queue’s and other libraries and components. Now I wanted to use jmx to monitor my own application. Using the standard JMX stuff coming with the JDK is not hard, but since I use a lot of spring, I wanted to know more about spring support.

The most important question in the end will be, is it easier to use spring with jmx than the standard jmx stuff from the jdk.

Read on to find out about jmx and my answer to the question which is easier, the spring way or the standard jmx way.
