Are you running locally or remotely from the AS instance?  For the moment as with any other process you should be able to establish a local connection to JMX without needing to go over Remoting.

Regarding a start script - it is not something currently planned but please go ahead and raise a feature request in Jira so we can see what we can do.  If someone did say manage to get it working and comment in the Jira that would make it a lot quicker for us to add something ;-)  Generally all that is needed is the correct jars adding to the classpath and the replacement jconsole scripts can be used as guidance to identify the required jars - after that the remoting-jmx url is avaiable by searching the classpath at the time a connection is attempted so there is no configuration required beyond that.

Someone i was working with today requested this, so I created two scripts (based on the jconsole scripts), one for linux and one for windows. They work in the same way as jconsole, i.e. they are executed from $JBOSS_HOME/bin

I you think they might be useful, i can raise a feature request in Jira

Thanks

John, welcome to the forums!

Please create a feature request here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7 and point it to this thread as reference. If you want to provide this as a patch, please follow the instructions here http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HackingonAS7

Thank you for the tool.

It was veryhelpful.

We wrote down our experiences with Visual VM and AS 7 in this blog:

Maybe it is of some help.

HI

I have this error

I'm usign

JBoss 7.1

java version "1.7.0_09"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)

Can I help me?

Maybe you use the wrong endpoint for the connection.

If you are running the server in the standalone mode the native management endpoint will be used. The default port of the native management interface is 9999.

JMX subsystem configuration in standalone mode:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jmx:1.1">
   <show-model value="true"/>
   <remoting-connector />
 </subsystem>

JMX Connection URL: service:jmx:remoting-jmx:IP:9999

IP = the binding of the management interface

If you are running the server in the domain mode, the remoting endpoint will be used.

The default port of the remoting connector in the domain mode is 4447 plus port offset, if configured.

JMX subsystem configuration in domain mode:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jmx:1.1">
   <show-model value="true"/>
   <remoting-connector use-management-endpoint="false"/>
</subsystem>

JMX Connection URL: service:jmx:remoting-jmx:IP:4447

IP = the binding of the management interface of a server instance from the domain
