What is the URL for JMX?

For remote access to JMX, the URL is of the format - service:jmx: [vendor-specific-protocol]:// [host]: [port]. The vendor specific protocol is the interesting bit here. In the case of WildFly that vendor-specific-protocol is http-remoting-jmx.

Where is the jar for JBoss EAP?

Note, the server specific jar for JBoss AS 7.x and JBoss EAP 6.x is named jboss-client.jar and is present at the same JBOSS_HOME/bin/client directory location.

Why isn't the JConsole remote access to WildFly not working?

What could be the reason? Remember, in one of those points earlier, I noted that the "vendor specific protocol" is an interesting bit? We use http-remoting-jmx and that protocol internally relies on certain WildFly/JBoss specific libraries, primarily for remote communication and authentication and authorization. These libraries are WildFly server specific and hence aren't part of the standard Java runtime environment. When you start jconsole, it uses a standard classpath which just has the relevant libraries that are part of the JDK/JRE.

What about using JConsole from a really remote machine, against WildFly?

So far we were using the jconsole tool that was present on the same machine as the WildFly instance, which meant that we have filesystem access to the WildFly server specific jars present in the WildFly installation directory on the filesystem . This allowed us to setup the classpath for jconsole to point to the jar on the local filesystem?

What is JDK in Java?

What is JBoss AS7?

One of the goals of JBoss AS7 was to make it much more secure by default, when compared to previous versions. One of the areas which was directly impacted by this goal was that you could no longer expect the server to expose some service on a port and get access to it without any authentication/authorization. Remember that in previous versions of JBoss AS you could access the JNDI port, the JMX port without any authentication/authorization, as long as those ports were opened for communication remotely. Finer grained authorizations on such ports for communications, in JBoss AS7, allows the server to control who gets to invoke operations over that port.

What is the port number for JBoss EAP?

Note: For JBoss AS 7.x and JBoss EAP 6.x, the vendor specific protocol is remoting-jmx and the port for communication is 9999. So the URL will be service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:9999
