We use MX4J to access JMX related operations/attributes via a web interface in the container itself. I wanted to know if there are alternatives that are available for it, since the last service release for MX4J was in 2006. I am basically looking to overcome limitations of MX4J in handling collections.

I was experimenting once with Jolokia and looks pretty cool. From the webpage:

Jolokia is an HTTP/JSON bridge for remote JMX access.

Definitely give it a try. I used it successfully to create an AJAX/JavaScript dashboard displaying configurable JMX metrics on refreshable charts.
