MX4J is a dead project that is not updated since years.
JMX has been included in JDK 5 and you can now have better tools to
export JMX data even remotely.

Having said that, you should look at
mx4j.tools.adaptor.http.HttpAdaptor.setProcessor*() methods that set
what is the processor for the XML document that is produced by
HttpAdaptor.
There is class DefaultProcessor that just output the XML (what you
want) and XSLTProcessor that uses the XSL files to convert to HTML.
What you need to do is to make sure that you're using the DefaultProcessor.
