I've designed a protocol for JMX, called JMXP, using the Blocks
Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP) application protocol kernel and am
proposing it to the IETF as a standard, language neutral mechanism for
remote JMX access. The specification can be found at either:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-harold-jmxp-00.txt

or for a prettier version:

http://www.beepcore.org/beepcore/docs/profile-jmxp.jsp

Note that this work in no way conflicts with the remote API designed by
the JSR 160 Experts Group. JMXP is a protocol and as such could be used
by a JSR 160 provider. My primary intent in designing JMXP was to create
a mechanism via which non-Java programmers - read administrators who may
prefer Perl, TCL, or shell scripts - can access JMX programmatically.

I am of course very interested in feedback on this spec from JMX
community ergo, comments/criticism/questions/corrections from this forum
are especially welcome.
