Hi Klaus, Sun's JMX Tutorial provides useful information, in particular section 2.2.2: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jmx/tutorial/essential.html#wp1054... Hope this helps, Klaus UNGER wrote:

Hello,

maybe a "stupid" question, but is there anywhere an example or explanation who to use jmx configuration capabilities without a web-server (tomcat/jetty)

I do have a RCP rich client, have already successfully implemented a draft ILogAppender. Now we wanted to be able to dynamically configure Log-Levels via JMX

I didn't find a port to connect to the client on my local machine!

thanks in advance K:)
