EntityLockMonitor usage

[clairecostello]

Hi All,

JBoss version: 4.0.2
Windows Server 2003

I want to view lock information (as per pg 247 of the JBoss 4.0 Guide). I've uncommented the relevant code in jboss-service.xml:

<mbean code="org.jboss.monitor.EntityLockMonitor"
 name="jboss.monitor:name=EntityLockMonitor">
 <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
</mbean>

I can view the service through the jmx-console but how can I get access to the read-only attributes and invoke the printLockMonitor method?

TIA,
Claire

Strangely enough, I just got access to the methods I mentioned in my previous post by doing the following:

1. Downloaded the free version of Application Manager (as suggested by another post in this forum). I needed to monitor things, especially lock contention, and this software looks like a neat tool.
2. Deployed the JBoss monitoring agent SAR which was bundled with the download. The deployment seemed to kickstart EntityLockMonitor successfully and I can now view all the stats referred to in the book.

Has anyone been able to activate EntityLockMonitor another way?
Claire.
