This seems to work OK, I can bind the bean to a JNDI name, then access the bean from a servlet which looks up the MBean using the JNDI name.

In my MBean class, which extends ServiceMBeanSupport, I do the following in the startService() method:

 protected void startService ()
 {
 // create a HashTable of environment properties for the InitialContext
 Hashtable environment = new Hashtable();
 environment.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 environment.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");
 environment.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
 "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

 try
 {
 // bind to JNDI
 Context context = new InitialContext(environment);
 Name fullName = context.getNameParser("").parse(m_jndiName);
 NonSerializableFactory.rebind(fullName, this, true);
 }
 catch (NamingException e)
 {
 System.out.println("Unable to bind UserManager MBean");
 }
 }

 // lookup and cast the user manager MBean
 UserManager userManager;
 try
 {
 // get the InitialContext and lookup the home interface
 Context context = new InitialContext(environment);
 userManager = (UserManager) context.lookup("mbean/UserManager");
 }
 catch (NameNotFoundException e)
 {
 // throw an UnavailableException so this servlet can never be called
 throw new UnavailableException("Lookup of UserManager MBean failed: " + e);
 }
 catch (NamingException e)
 {
 // log the error
 //m_logger.error("Lookup of the IOIManagerHome interface failed", e);

 // throw an UnavailableException so this servlet can never be called
 throw new UnavailableException("Lookup of UserManager MBean failed: " + e);
 }
