Firstly I found that the JDK I am using (1.4.2_14, which is required by the application) doesn't have jconsole. So I installed JDK 1.5.0_15. When I launch jconsole and try to connect, I get a message in the little connection dialog saying "Connection failed". On my server, JBoss is listening on port 1098 (not 1099), but I wouldn't think this would make a difference. I am able to browse to http://localhost:8180/jmx-console/, and I get a huge long page with a heap of stuff I don't understand. Can I use this instead of the jconsole Java application? In my search for a JMX command line tool, I found some references to twiddle. I have found twiddle is on my server (I believe it is part of JBoss), but when I try executing a command like: twiddle -s localhost:1098 serverinfo -l it sits there for ages and does nothing. I left it for about 20 minutes, and nothing happened. Is twiddle the kind of thing you had in mind for allowing me to retrieve the values I am looking for?
