Why do you want to do that? What are you trying to do? Maybe you could reload the application instead or reset certain components (Service, Engine, Host, etc...)? That you can do, using JMX, e.g. Catalina:type=Service --> stop() and start() operations Catalina:type=Engine --> stop() and start() operations Catalina:type=Host,host=localhost --> stop() and start() operations Catalina:j2eeType=WebModule,name=//localhost/JmxExample,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none --> reload() operation (JmxExample is my test application) As far, as an example of MBean - I will see if I can come up with an example MBean application. You can see JMX tutorial here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jmx/index.html Hope that helps!
