Actually, you would do it the other way around. SOAP over JMX Remote. As I read the JSR 160 specification, chapter 3 defines the RMI connection, chapter 4 defines a "generic" connector that is dependent upon being able to bi-directionally stream Java objects. > My question is, why have a SOAP interface for server management when JMX fits the bill? I was trying to translate what I was reading here, not justify it. However, it seems reasonable to assume that system administrators may want various means for administration, such as being able to write perl/python scripts. > I am wary of a proliferation of management APIs unless I am mistaken and > there is a SOAP spec out there for the management of J2EE servers. A WSDL definition has to start somewhere. You think you can find anyone with J2EE admin experience around here? --- Noel
