The default InstrumentationManager accepts the following configuration options:

Before CXF 3.4.0, the following options were also available. From CXF 3.4.0, these options are removed, as there is no real advantage to creating a custom JMX local Connector. Local JMX monitoring can be done using standard tools, and remote JMX monitoring is done using the standard JVM JXM options (see below).

The MBean instrumentation provided by the above configuration will provide generic information about the WSDL supported by the web service as well as web service administration commands. To see performance metrics of the SOAP call processing, further configuration is required – these are disabled by default to avoid unnecessary runtime overhead.

If you're using Maven, make sure you have the following dependency added to the pom.xml for the web service provider:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-management</artifactId>
    <version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>

<bean id="org.apache.cxf.management.InstrumentationManager"
  class="org.apache.cxf.management.jmx.InstrumentationManagerImpl" init-method="init">
  <property name="bus" ref="cxf" />
  <property name="enabled" value="true" />
  <property name="JMXServiceURL usePlatformMBeanServer" value="service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9914/jmxrmitrue" />
</bean>

Starting from 2.5.2, an equivalent configuration of the above instrumentation manager can be directly made within the bus configuration using the corresponding property names having the "bus.jmx" prefix, as in

<cxf:bus bus="cxf">
  <cxf:properties>
    <entry key="bus.jmx.enabled" value="true" />
    <entry key="bus.jmx.JMXServiceURLusePlatformMBeanServer" value="service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9914/jmxrmitrue" />
  </cxf:properties>
</cxf:bus>

To test the configuration start up your service and connect to it by using JConsole from the JDK.

Remote access

Starting from CXF 3.3.6, it is possible to configure remote Remote access to the RMI Connector via the "enviroment" variable. Here is an example:

...

<bean id="org.apache.cxf.management.InstrumentationManager" class="org.apache.cxf.management.jmx.InstrumentationManagerImpl" init-method="init">
    <property name="enabled" value="true"/>
    <property name="bus" ref="cxf"/>
    <property name="JMXServiceURL" value="service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9914/jmxrmi" />
    <property name="environment">
        <map xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans">
            <entry xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
                key="jmx.remote.x.password.file" value="./target/classes/jmx.password"/>
            <entry xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
                key="jmx.remote.x.access.file" value="./target/classes/jmx.access"/>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

JMX is configured using the standard JVM JMX options. For example if you want to enable remote access without enabling TLS, but using authentication against local access and password files:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9913 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=conf/jmx.access -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=conf/jmx.password

Then you can connect using jconsole specifying either of the following for the remote process, and supplying a username + password to match what you have configured:

• localhost:9913
• service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9913/jmxrmi

where jmx.password and jmx.access contain something like:

• jmx.password: admin cxf
• jmx.access: admin readwrite
