[jboss-user] [Management, JMX/JBoss] - JMX vs EJB

[mirciuss]

Hi,
I am about to develop an Network Management System application with JBoss; it's purpose is to manage network elements.
I am not very sure what technology to use: JMX or EJB.
I am thinking to use JMX MBeans for business logic since I want to map these devices in java objects. These objects should act as remote proxy and should track device changing configuration.

My concern is: how JMX MBeans are acting in multi-user environment ? 

I know that EJB stateless beans have different pooling and cycling mechanism that are important in multi-user environment so I am wondering if it would be better to put business logic in stateless EJB beans .
Another approach may be to put EJB beans on top of JMX adaptors (SNMP for instance - I can make trap handling via JMX notification mechanism) - but the same problem can be met in multi-user environment since every EJB method call would use an JMX Mbean to acces the device via SNMP for instance.
Many Thanks in advance, Mircea
