> The aim here is to implement the workaround explained in:
> http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/faq.html#rmi1
> To allow JConsole instances to access AS instances when 
> there're firewalls in between.
> I created a basic simple service that does this:
> "I have created small service that mimics precisely this and attached it 
> (file called acme-jmx-connector.sar). This is a very simple service which 
> does not mimic SSL or authentication access to JConsole, so please bear 
> that in mind. I'd need more time to add SSL and authentication to it.
> To use it, just deploy it in the deploy/ directory of your EAP server. Within 
> the sar, there's a file in META-INF/jboss-service.xml with the registry port 
> configured to be whatever you passed in as -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port 
> and the proxy port configured by default as 21002 or whatever you pass in 
> the -Dcom.acme.jmxremote.proxy.port system property. This proxy port is the 
> 2nd port you need to open in the firewall to be able to connect to JConsole.
> On the client side, start JConsole like this:
> jconsole service:jmx:rmi://[host]:[value of com.acme.jmxremote.proxy.port property]/jndi/rmi://[host]:[value of com.sun.management.jmxremote.port property]/server"
> However, there's a couple of guys in Netherlands that have created a full blown 
> solution which includes support for SSL:
> http://www.componative2.com/content/controller/developer/insights/jconsole3
> FAO Dimitris et all, what about we have a chat with these guys and see if they 
> wanna contribute their solution to AS if we're happy with what they did? I'm 
> assigning it to you first and if you're happy and we haven't solved this before 
> already, I can look into at their solution properly and come back with my 
> comments.
