Which version of JBoss and how do you start it? I checked the jmx-console on my 4.2.3GA system and i do see that it has been correctly set to 1099. Also post the contents of the jboss-service.xml and the entire console logs. While posting the logs or xml content or code, remember to wrap it in a code block using the Code button in the message editor window and please hit the Preview button to make sure your post is correctly formatted View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4168927#...
