[wildfly-dev] JMX Console over Web Admin Console

[Sebastian Łaskawiec]

Hi Brian

Thanks for clarification and sorry for late response.

I created Feature Request to add expose MBean server through HTTP
management interface: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3426

It would be great to have MBean server exposed via Wildfly HTTP Management
interface, but I know several teams which would like to have such
functionality in JBoss AS 7. This is why I started looking at Darran's port
to JMX console (https://github.com/dandreadis/wildfly/commits/jmx-console).
I rebased it, detached from Wildfly parent and pushed to my branch (
https://github.com/altanis/wildfly/commits/jmx-console-ported). The same
WAR file seems to work correctly on JBoss AS 7 as well as Wildfly.

In my opinion it would be great to have this console available publicly. Is
it possible to make the WAR file available through JBoss Nexus (perhaps
thirdparty-releases repository)? If it is, I'd squash all commits and push
only jmx-console code into new github repository (to make it separate from
Wildfly).

Best regards
Sebastian
