Hi All,

Is there any method in jmx adaptor to ping the server (instead looking up RMIAdaptorImpl_Stub )and know whether the server is running or not ?

Any help is appreciable

Thanks

Hi All,

Is there any way to discover JBoss server without the lookup of RMIAdaptor stub ????

Thanks in advance.

Dear Juha,

My requirement is to check whether JBoss server is running in a machine or not.

One solution is looking for RMIAdaptor in JNDI.For this I need JBoss Client.

Iam searching for a simple alternative that doesnt need the JBoss client.

Thanks in Advance for your help..

Try connecting to any of the HTTP ports you might have open with a simple HTTP request.

Thanks Juha.

In JBoss, the http response do not say anything about JBoss. How can I be sure that JBoss is running on that machine. A standalone tomcat/apache webserver will also respond to the HTTP reuest.

JBoss is a microkernel. If there are no services running on it, then there's no connection points to it. It depends what services you have configured to listen to external ports where you can ping to. HTTP port is one such example.

Thanks Juha.

We have decided to use RMI Adaptor lookup to ping the server.

Once again thanks for your reply
