Getting status out of JBoss

Recent question arose on how to monitor JBoss from the load balancer. Since we can't use JMX or the jmx-console from the load balancer (our usual method) we needed some HTTP endpoints that were easy to use out of the box (i.e. we didn't want to write our own servlet/jsp page). Two good candidates were:

http://hostname/jboss/status

and (if you have are using web services)

http://hostname/jbossws/services

Ok, thats it for now!
