Is there any JMX - REST bridge available?

http, jmx, rest

Solution

Jolokia is a new (at this time) JMX Agent you can install in your JVM and exposes the MBeanServer over HTTP in JSON format.

Problem

Hi I would like to monitor a Java application using the browser but at the same time utilising the existing JMX infrastructure. I know that JMX provides a HTTP interface but I think it provides a standard web gui and its not possible to mashup its functionality with an existing system. Are you aware of any REST interface for JMX? My research on google currently shows that there is one project which does something similar. Is this the only option?
