I have noticed some rather strange behaviour with the org.jboss.jdbc.HypersonicDatabase MBean and the HSQL Database Manager. Through the jmx console, there is an option to start the HSQL Database Manager by invoking startDatabaseManager() for this mbean. But, this starts the database manager swing application on the server machine, even if the mbean is invoked through a browser on another machine. There is also no message that the application started somewhere else. Is this expected behaviour? The startDatabaseManager() mbean option just sets the proper settings for the manager and opens it in a new thread. Wouldn't a separate script make more sense?
