How to connect to mbean on remote jboss server

[dcwjboss]

I am not able to connect to remote jboss server (v5.1) from java standalone application acting as client.

I already tried following but with no success:

1) using JMXConnector:

            String urlStr = "service:jmx:rmi://localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:1090/jmxconnector";

            // String urlStr = "service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:4447";

            JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL(urlStr);

            conn = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, null);

            MBeanServerConnection server = conn.getMBeanServerConnection();

// getting java.io.IOException: Failed to retrieve RMIServer stub: javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: localhost; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect] at JMXConnectorFactory.connect(..)

2) using RMI :

        Hashtable table = new Hashtable();

        table.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.rmi.registry.RegistryContextFactory");

        table.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "rmi://localhost:1099");

        InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(table); // From table

        RMIAdaptor server = (RMIAdaptor) ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");

// getting javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectIOException: non-JRMP server at remote endpoint] while lookup.

3) using Http :

        Hashtable table = new Hashtable();

        table.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory");

        table.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http://localhost:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory");

        table.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming.client");

        InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(table); // From table

        MBeanServerConnection server = (MBeanServerConnection) ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/HttpAdaptor");

// getting javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to retrieve Naming interface for provider http://localhost:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory [Root exception is java.net.ProtocolException: Server redirected too many  times (20)] while creating InitialContext object.

How to resolve above errors and What is the best way to connect to remote mbean server ?

Its working now using the first method above, it was the same error mentioned in this forum:

After starting RMI registry using LocateRegistry on the port given and starting JMXConnectorServer for the url, the connection got established to the remote mbean server.

The first method works for me. However, a little change has been necessary.

Your urlStr is: "service:jmx:rmi:" + "//" + "localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:1090/jmxconnector";

I'm using this url with three slashes between the service type and the sap (service access protocol), that is:

urlStr = "service:jmx:rmi:" + "///" + "localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:1090/jmxconnector";

HTH.
