HOw to Check progamatically JBOSS Running

[shankha]

I have some Queues in the JBOSS.
I have to access those queues from a standalone Java program.

Before connect to the JBOSS can I test whether the JBOSS is running or not progamatically?

Can I also test the existance of the Queues in the JBOSS ?
