All,

I've been thinking about the possibility of making a read-only JMX role
available for the existing manager-jmx capability.

[...]

Does anyone think this is a good idea?


I think it is a bad idea, because passwords (and maybe other secrets)
are visible through JMX, by design.

How can you view a password through JMX -- assuming you can only make JMX "get" requests?

It might be worth to have some "status" role,
but it has to be defined more specifically than just a "view all" role.

I'm okay with a line-item ACL for specific resources. It's just more effort to (a) program and (b) implement at a site.

Maybe the way to achieve the same result is to amend the server status page,
which is already provided by the manager app and has a dedicated role.

That's another possibility, but something that can produce small (HTTP) responses is preferable to something which requires screen-scraping.
