Apache CXF JMX monitoring for SOAP clients

Question

According to http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jmx-management.html, CXF provides JMX monitoring for Web Service providers. The documentation is silent about whether it works for SOAP clients or not. Metro, on the other hand, clearly says that client monitoring is supported as well. The only reason I am looking at CXF is because it provides connection pooling which Metro does not, to my knowledge. So my question really is, does anyone know if CXF supports client side JMX monitoring for SOAP clients? If yes, can you give some pointers? If not, is there a way to achieve connection pooling with Metro?

Answer 1

To answer my own question, CXF does not support client side JMX monitoring. It has better support than Metro for server side monitoring, provided CounterRepository bean is configured.
