JMX sucks

Do you like JMX? I don't. It gets me nothing special. For me (simply puts) it is "technology" for accessing some information and invoking operations on mbeans via standard api. The only advantage (not always as you will see) is the ability to use diffrent consoles as a ui view of the mbeans. When I started my journey with JMX I thought it is something more sophisticated.

Let's suppose that you added some jmx-related stuff to your web application. Now, you want to see it. Do you use jmx console that you must run in some specific way other than clicking through application? Maybe you, but I would like to access the information the same way I access application's functionality (for example by login to application to admin account and selecting the admin tab). Of course I must embedded jmx's html console to my application, but it isn't compact with my look and feel, so I write the ui with jmx statistics by myself. And I wonder what JMX gets me?
