The new stuff would be used when the client is trying to get at the JMX bus through a firewall. For example ..
Swing Client -> firewall -> internet -> firewall -> jboss By default al JNDI/EJB go over RMI on port 4444. In order for the above to work, the client firewall would have to allow RMI calls to go through and on the jboss firewall side it would have to forward port 4444 through to jboss. The new invokers wrap up the RMI call into http. Most firewalls allow http access and if the client firewall is a proxy firewall it will still work. On the server side most likely the http port is open to serve web pages so a servlet receives the response and sends it into the JMX bus.
