JMX Console

The servicemix JBIContainer exposes internal services and Components through JMX. The JBIContainer can be passed a JMXBeanServer or be configured to create one, if one doesn't exist. (see Configuration). If the JBIContainer creates its own MBeanServer instance, it also creates an RMI JMXConnector - to allow remote connections. The Ant Tasks use this:

String jndiPath = <container name> + "JMX";
JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL ("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<namingHost>:<namingPort>/" + jndiPath) ;
JMXConnector connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url);

The default namingPort is 1099
The default container name is defaultJBI

Using JConsole and Java 5

To enable JMX remoting with Java 5 on some platforms you need to do this first (e.g. on windows?). There's no need on OS X for sure:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=5001 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

Then run JConsole

jconsole

Go to the advanced tab and enter the JMX Service URL

then you should see all of the ServiceMix MBeans in the console.

Using MC4J

When you want to get at the ServiceMix MBeans using MC4J use JSR160 as your server connection type and the above default JMX Service URL as your server URL.

ServiceMix JMX Console

ServiceMix comes with a WAR which can be deployed, including ServiceMix inside any Servlet / J2EE application server in a standard deployment unit. The added benefit of the ServiceMix WAR is it includes a simple JMX operational console as well allowing your web browser to view JMX attributes and statistics.

To create the ServiceMix WAR from a fresh checkout of the code try this

cd servicemix/tooling/servicemix-web
maven war

Then drop the WAR in any servlet engine.
