+ <subsection name="JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener">
+
+ <p>
+ The JMX protocol requires the JMX server (Tomcat in this instance) to listen
+ on two network ports. One of these ports can be fixed via configuration but
+ the second is selected randomly. This makes it difficult to use JMX through
+ a firewall. The JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener allows both ports to be fixed,
+ simplifying the process of connecting to JMX through a firewall. See the <a
+ href="config/listeners.html">listeners</a> page for usage instructions.
