Sorry - I neglected to point out that this example uses JNDI to initially access the mbean server. You'll need to configure an initial context to access the server. Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost: 1099"); env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); Context ic = new InitialContext(env); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4027671#...
