I've finally remembered how I used to do remote JMX without any
lookup facility.  I used the JMXMP connector, which works perfectly
fine without any lookups nor runny any extra service, just by using
URLs like "service:jmx:jmxmp://balder:2004".  (Not to mention
support for TLS encryption).

Too bad that mx4j doesn't implement the Generic Connector, because
most applications don't need dynamic discovery.  DNS manages to
provide the needed indirection for every http server on the www,
and it works just as well for Jmx.  If I have outside JMX clients for
my mx4j jmx service, in addition to not having portable encryption
support, I have to protect an otherwise unnecessary  JNDI service
and open it up through the firewalls.

Any plans for implementing the Generic Connector in the future?  I
could do the TLS part at least (having done same for the hsqldb
project).
