I have just begun using JBossProfiler and I am facing some problems in starting/ using the profiler. I am still trying to understand how i can use it.

But for now the first issue i am having is as follows:

I am using JBoss 4.2.2.GAon Windows platform

I Installed Jboss Profiler 2.0 as per the steps mentioned in the users guide i.e.

1) Copy jboss-profiler.jar to my Jboss/bin

2) Copy jboss-profiler.properties to my Jboss/bin

3) Copy jboss-profiler-plugins.jar to my Jboss/bin

4) Edit run.bat in my jboss/bin to include JBoss Profiler in JAVA_OPTS as follows:

-javaagent:C:/Jboss/bin/jboss-profiler.jar -Djboss-profiler.properties=C:/Jboss/bin/jboss-profiler.properties

5) Copy jboss-profiler.sar to Jboss/server/default/deploy

6) my jboss-profiler.properties are set up as follows:

enable=yes

precompiled=no

cpu=yes

memory=yes

includes=com.myclasses.genx.om.*

excludes=*

visibility=private

save=yes

savelocation=C:\tmp\profiles

startup=yes

repository=yes

remote=yes

store=memory

location=C:\tmp\profiles

host=localhost

port=5400

ejb=yes

servlet=yes

jsf=yes

jmx=yes

rmi=yes

corba=yes

plugin.1=org.jboss.profiler.plugins.Hibernate

plugin.2=org.jboss.profiler.plugins.Seam

My setup ends here:

My server starts up fine and at the beginning it also echos to the console:

JBoss Profiler 2.0.0.Beta5 (Sun Microsystems Inc. 1.6.0_06

JBoss Profiler depends on external communication module

I open another Command Line and cd into my jboss-profiler-2.0.0.Beta5 directory and when i hit the command

java -Xmx512m -jar jboss-profiler-client.jar startProfiler

i get the following exception:

Every example of installation i checked online i see the port is set up as 5400. And not one has documented this error. I do not see this mentioend in the  profiler user guide. Can anyone tell me why i am getting this error and how i can fix it.
