Hello;

I am trying to use RemoteMBeanServer to discover information about the MBean that exist inside JBoss 3.0.1RC1. Specifically, I want to be able to use methods like isRegistered() and getMBeanInfo() to be able to introspect on the MBeans using standard JMX mechanisms.

I can connect to JBoss and get a reference to a RemoteMBeanServer with ease. However, whenever I try to use isRegisterered() or getMBeanInfo() on what should be a valid MBean, the MBeanServer acts like the MBean doesn't exist.

Here's some sample code (based closely on an earlier post in this forum) for connecting to JBoss and for using those methods on a standard JBoss MBean. Pretty well you can change the ObjectName to any MBean inside JBoss and you get the same result - RemoteMBeanServer doesn't think they are registered. The html JMX browser shows that these objects do exist.

Any ideas?

Brian.
