JSR 77 Chapter 6 provides the basic structure for doing statistics, and
includes a (trivial) MIB for JavaMail and MIBs for JDBC, which could be
useful, although we'd want the JDBC related stats to come from DBCP. I am
not sure what is happening with JSR 138.

OK. I don't know if one will come out of the Geronimo work, which is based
upon JMX with JSR 77 and 88.

Can you layout the differences for those of us who haven't spent as much
time looking at this as you?
>From what you are saying, if a monitor has a metric that isn't filled in by
a service, it sits empty. And if a service has a metric that wasn't setup
with the monitor, it can't be monitored. The primary benefit to driving the
setup through the monitor service is associations between the metrics?
As I understand it, configuring a new metric would mean writing the code in
the service, and then configuring the service monitor, which is really
defining the registry. Is that correct?
