[jboss-as7-dev] Questions on connecting to as71 via jmx

Hey all: We in JBossTools have a feature for jmx and would like to extend it's jmx support to as71, but it seems not to be working in my most simple main class example. I've found links on using jconsole, but no links for raw clients. I do remember that AS3-6 required loading some custom classes, and setting a principal and a credential. So far, I add the following to the classpath of a new plain old java project: jboss-logging-3.1.0.GA.jar jboss-marshalling-1.3.9.GA.jar jboss-marshalling-river-1.3.9.GA.jar jboss-remoting-3.2.2.GA.jar jboss-sasl-1.0.0.Final.jar remoting-jmx-1.0.0.Final.jar xnio-api-3.0.3.GA.jar xnio-nio-3.0.3.GA.jar Then I write the following main method: try { String url = "service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:1090"; Map<String, String[]> environment = new HashMap<String, String[]>(); JMXConnector connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(new JMXServiceURL(url), environment); MBeanServerConnection connection = connector.getMBeanServerConnection(); Set beanInfo = connection.queryNames(new ObjectName("*:*"), null); //$NON-NLS-1$ } catch( Exception e ) { e.printStackTrace(); } If the server is not running, the result is the program never closes. There are three threads, two of which are remoting endpoints, and a DestroyJavaVM Thread. Exception is as follows: java.lang.RuntimeException: Operation failed with status WAITING at org.jboss.remoting3.jmx.RemotingConnector.connect(RemotingConnector.java:155) at javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory.connect(JMXConnectorFactory.java:248) at MyMain.main(MyMain.java:17) How do I properly recognize this "RuntimeException"? Is there some superclass I can catch, or is this it? Finally, how do I properly clean up the connections to ensure those threads disappear? If the server *is* running, launched via standalone.xml, the result is identical. Does the default as71 come with JMX enabled and exposed? If not, what needs to be done to expose it? Thanks again - Rob Stryker
