Folks, JMX as you know is deep inside our server and the basis for our new microkernel architecture. JBoss when it is born is nothing more than the JMX.jar and the ServiceLibraries with it.
Juha Lindfors has just finished writing the forthcoming JMX book for sams publishing and it will hit the market in early 2002, it is an excellent book. From the insights he collected as he was writting it, JBossMX is born, a JMX based implementation in JBoss. As you can see as of this morning the first imports are already in CVS, the code is alive. JBossMX is going to be big, bigger than the server itself methinks, JBoss is going to be JBossMX in the new future. That is what we are really working on these days, david, scott, rickard, myself, and now juha putting forth the base code for it. It is a first implementation and I expect it to mature rapidly. So go buy the book and participate in the implementation, JBossMX is a clear system vision, one we share and the JMX future is bright, I expect it will be in all sorts of embedded and servers as I outlined in the "edge/central" view earlier, it is the common infrastructure for us, the base for the super server. It will leave in its own little jar separate of the rest of JBoss and really be, like the RI is today the boot jar of JBoss. in fact in the current codebase, JBoss is really JBossMX (today the SUN RI to be replaced, just to many problems so far, maybe the upcoming release will be better, but getting things fixed has just proved too problematic, open source is clearly superior there) but we will focus on providing a SMALL and FAST implementation, juha has some ideas on how to do that well, and then other services will probably be mbeans themselves ;). So you will have a JBoss that fits in 200k like it does today when it boots, probably even less if we strip some of "higher services" that you don't need immediately. We expect advanced add-ons to be sold like the snmp stacks from vendors and whatnot. Then everything including the EJB interceptors, the plugins, the services, the webservices invokers all mbeans all on a fast bus all on infrastructure we can debug at lightning speed and push in the field with wider distribution that even SUN achieves. With 500,000 page views a month and 50,000 downloads we are going to push our system view of the world we are going to make it real we are going to make it a success. The guardians are cold, but they are working, they know the flame is coming, they are working.
