    JConsole doesn't work anymore

    dmlloyd

      With 5.0.0.CR2, I followed the wiki instructions to allow JConsole to connect by adding "-Djboss.platform.mbeanserver -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl" to JAVA_OPTS in run.conf.

      However startup instantly fails:

      Exception thrown by the agent : javax.management.JMRuntimeException: Failed to load MBeanServerBuilder class org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl

      Any ideas? Is this a regression of JBAS-3947?

          In earlier versions of JBoss (ex: 4.2.3 GA), the run.jar file in %JBOSS_HOME%/bin contained this org.jboss.system.server.jmx.* package/classes. However in the current version (JBoss-5 CR2), i don't see any such org.jboss.system.server.jmx.* classes in that run.jar. So at the first step of booting, the server throws:

          Not sure if these classes were intentionally moved out of the run.jar.

          P.S: The %JBOSS_HOME%/lib/jboss-system-jmx.jar does contain these classes but the exception occurs too early for this jar to come into picture.

            Inicidentally I tried adding various jars to the boot classpath just to see if I could make it work - after about three I gave up though. It's a shame that this doesn't work...

              I tried a couple of things. And i think the subject of this thread might need a change :)

              JConsole does work in JBoss-5 CR2. I followed these steps here http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-12499

              However, displaying of JBoss MBeans in JConsole as explained here http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10521, no longer works because of the classpath issue.

              I tried bringing the jboss-system-jmx.jar into the boot classpath (just for testing). That got me to a point where i could see JBoss booting but it failed with various other classloader/dependency errors. Let me try a few more things and see if there is a workaround. In any case, should this be reported in the JIRA (or has it been already done)?

                The only way, i could get the JBoss MBeans in JConsole working was to manually add the following 2 classes to the %JBOSS_HOME%/bin/run.jar:

                org\jboss\system\server\jmx\LazyMBeanServer.class
                org\jboss\system\server\jmx\MBeanServerBuilderImpl.class

                  I could not find a related issue, so created one https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6185

                    I tried another approach - namely, specifying that the platform MBean server be used (which would avoid the classpath issue), but the failure is different:

                    The exact properties I set were:
                    -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver=true
                    


                    Perhaps there's something somewhere that isn't respecting this setting...

                      ...which is of course exactly what http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10521 is about, so... ignore me...

                        David L,

                        Funny, I didn't see this forum posting, so of course I went through my own attempt iteration in this comment:
                        http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10521#comment-1390

                        Glad to see I'm not the only one who has hit this. :)
