try {
     MBeanServerConnection server = (MBeanServerConnection)new InitialContext().lookup("jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor");
     ObjectName on = new ObjectName("jboss.system:type=Server");
     //Object ver = server.getAttribute(on, "VersionNumber");
     Boolean started = (Boolean) server.getAttribute(on, "Started");
}
catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

     

    If the JBoss server is started, "started' will be "true"
