Re:RemoteMBeanServer by using RMIConnector

>>You could sub-class the MBean and override

Thanks for the reply. I was not able to reply to my message so I had to create a new topic. The problem I was facing is I have JMX agents running remotely and clients to access these agents know only IPaddress of the agents at runtime. So to retreive the host name from the IPadress which are on different networks is not possible. Am I rite here?.

So according to your suggesstion I need to subclass RMIAdaptor class?.
Is there any documentation which could help me or a sample code?.
Thanks in Advance

Here's the class implementation from JBoss4.

It includes a jmx:local:rmi binding so you don't
need the host name. You can use the ip to configure
jndi.

Thanks a lot for your help. I subclassed RMIAdaptorService and overrided the method getJNDIname() and it worked.
If any you need my code I would be happy to send it you.
Thanks,
Subu

Hi,
thanks a loots for your help. I sublcassed RMIAdaptorService class and over rided the method name getJNDIName(). This works fine.
