EJB and JMX Integration?

[pisymbol]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using JMX and
EJB? For a certain project what I really want is to be able to create
managable Messge Driven Beans (MDBs). Obviously JMX MBean architecture
is a straightforward mechnism for application instrumentation.
However, since MDBs run under their own container I'm confused on
actually how to do this.

It is my understanding that MDBs are created on demand so even trying
to instrument a MDBs is sort of futile. Basically, how can I manage
MDBs through their respective container? Am I missing something or is
there a management aspect in the J2EE domain (i.e. containers!) that is
not JMX?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
