Jolokia - JMX with JSON over HTTP.

Jolokia is a fresh way to access JMX MBeans remotely. It is different from JSR-160 connectors in that it is an agent-based approach which uses JSON over HTTP for its communication in a REST-stylish way. The client communicates with the agent over HTTP (GET or POST) with the request and response payload represented in JSON. It transparently bridges to the JMX world, talking to clients on the frontend via a REST-like protocol and to a JMX MBeanServer on the backend.
