In general, I would recommend using JNDI over JMX for this. JMX is really designed for manamenent information and not as a component registry. Here is a document (http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10252) on how this can be done on WebLogic. Here is a similar doc for WebSphere (http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10250). The docs may be a bit out of date, would appreciate it if you could update them with your findings. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4218596#...
