James, Thanks for the response. Not exactly sure which I want to do in your terms...maybe some hybrid.
The end result is to build from front-end GUI that attaches to ActiveMQ and shows stats (and potentially manages) some Java jmx enabled apps. Kind of like a JConsole which gets its data from ActiveMQ rather than rmi. This comes from the fact that we want to connect c/c++ apps, .Net apps and Java apps to the message bus and monitor/manage all of them from a single interface. Is ActiveMQ (with Camel?) something I should be looking at for this?

You mean you wanna manage applications using ActiveMQ using JMX? If so sure... http://activemq.apache.org/jmx.html or do you mean you wanna send a message to all of your applications which then invoke methods on mbeans? Kinda JMS -> JMX -> your app? There are some JMX-over-JMS implementations around -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://fusesource.com/
