What is your use case?
Why do you want to use jmx instead of the external api?

An external monitoring system which knows to poll jmx only is monitoring my
tomcat

1) Which external monitoring system? Nagios?

2) Is it a system written in java which polls jmx itself, or does it start java 
each time it wants to retrieve jmx value(s)?

1. Custom in-house system (not developed anymore).

2.  Its actually polling jmx values based on configuration.

ok i guess for now i can workaround this by exposing in my tomcat jmx with a 
"bridge" to 
https://code.google.com/p/javamelody/wiki/ExternalAPI#PNG_and_lastValue and 
thus the external monitoring system would be able to watch it. this resolves it.
thanks

It's ok.
Given your comment, I will resolve this as done.

If you wish to create a new "clean" issue for "Expose metrics via jmx" with a 
bit more general use case, you are welcome.
I may set a low priority to that issue, but it can exist anyway.
