I can try looking into this further when I have some spare time.

I remember reading about this issue before (can't remember where, and not sure if it was related to logback or some other JMX utility), and it turned out to be just that WebSphere handles JMX somewhat differently, and therefore JMX MBeans that are registered by deployed applications are not visible by the standard jConsole. It might have something to do with WebSphere creating multiple JMX MBean Servers, and the jConsole points to a different one?

I'll try to dig up more information and will let you know when I find something.






Thanks,
-Chris

Hi Chris,

Would you be interested in investigating this further? You would need to
build logback from sources. This is explained at [1]. If you are using
IntelliJ IDEA, the steps are quite trivial. Under eclipse, it's a bit
more involved. If you can't be bothered with installing Scala, just
remove the "STest" files (tests written in scala) from the source tree.

Let me know what you think.
