To enable monitoring this jetty instance you need to use fragment bundle that would connect underlying jetty to Servicemix MBeanServer using additional jetty configuration.
Here are steps to do this:
1. Create a OSGi Fragment-Bundle which will attach to pax-web-jetty OSGi service. Bundle Fragment project pom.xml contains following:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
schemalocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelversion>4.0.0</modelversion>
<groupid>org.ops4j.pax.web</groupid>
<artifactid>config-jetty-jmx</artifactid>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>bundle</packaging>
<name>OPS4J Pax Web - Configuring Jetty JMX connection</name>
<properties>
<bundle.symbolicname>org.ops4j.pax.web.config-jetty-jmx</bundle.symbolicname>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupid>org.apache.felix</groupid>
<artifactid>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactid>
<version>2.2.0</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>bundle-manifest</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>manifest</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<bundle-symbolicname>${bundle.symbolicName}</bundle-symbolicname>
<bundle-version>${pom.version}</bundle-version>
<fragment-host>org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-jetty</fragment-host>
</instructions>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
2. This bundle (Fragment) would have additional Jetty configuration xml file jetty.xml which would (reside in src/main/resources folder) look like this:
<configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.Server">
<call id="jettyMBeanServer" class="java.lang.management.ManagementFactory" name="getPlatformMBeanServer">
<!-- =========================================================== -->
<!-- Initialize the Jetty MBean container -->
<!-- =========================================================== -->
<get id="Container" name="container">
<call name="addEventListener">
<arg>
<new class="org.mortbay.management.MBeanContainer">
<arg><ref id="jettyMBeanServer"></ref>
<call name="start">
</call>
</arg>
</new>
</arg>
</call>
3. Once the fragment bundle is built install it in Servicemix instance which is not currently running pax-web OSGi services. (I used Servicemix instance with minimal bundles only config feature was installed) I installed it using osgi:install file:///.... or something like osgi:install mvn:org.ops4j.pax.web/config-jetty-jmx where the groupId for my Fragment bundle project was org.ops4j.pax.web and artifactId config-jetty-jmx.
4. Once this is installed you can install pax-web. I deployed war feature which installs and starts pax-web feature.
5. At this stage your Fragment bundle would get attached to pax-web-jetty Host Bundle and enable JMX monitoring. To confirm this if you run osgi:list you should see something like (Note Fragment and Host entries):
[33] [Resolved ] [ ] [ 60] OPS4J Pax Web - Configuring Jetty JMX connection (1.0.0.SNAPSHOT)
Hosts: 39
[ 34] [Active ] [ ] [ 60] geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec (1.1.2)
[ 35] [Active ] [ ] [ 60] Apache ServiceMix :: Bundles :: jetty (6.1.26.1-fuse)

[ 40] [Active ] [ ] [ 60] OPS4J Pax Web - Jsp Support (0.7.3)
[ 41] [Active ] [ ] [ 60] OPS4J Pax Web - Extender - WAR (0.7.3)
[ 42] [Active ] [ ] [ 60] OPS4J Pax Web - Extender - Whiteboard (0.7.3)
[ 43] [Active ] [ ] [ 60] OPS4J Pax Url - war:, war-i: (1.1.3)
[ 44] [Active ] [Created ] [ 60] Apache Karaf :: WAR Deployer (2.0.0.fuse-02-00)
6. At this stage if you start JConsole and look connect to running Servicemix instance you should be able to see following MBeans appearing in MBeans tab:
a. org.mortbay.jetty.servlet
b. org.mortbay.thread
c. org.ops4j.pax.web.service.jetty.internal
I did see some InstanceAlreadyExists exceptions in Servicemix instance but wasn't able to resolve them quickly so just left there since in my opinion they are harmless.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to configure internal Jetty instance run by pax-web in Servicemix/Karaf.
