[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-1146) Export remoting-JMX address via JVM instrumentation buffer

[James Livingston (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1146?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12786722#comment-12786722 ] 

James Livingston commented on WFLY-1146:
----------------------------------------

If we don't want this that's fine.

Although it does use internal Sun API which is obviously not portable or stable, if it's run on a JVM which does not support it, it will simply log the CFNE/MNFE at debug level and continue as it currently behaves. Supporting compiling without such a VM could trivially be done by using reflection.

I don't see how this would break non-local authentication. If the user manually enters the service URL then the data in the instrumentation buffer is not used, so it shouldn't make a difference.  If the user picks the process from the list, then JConsole can't (at least in my experience) connect at all because it doesn't know to use the remoting service URL rather than the Sun JDK standard RMI one.

> Currently to connect to the AS with JConsole you need to manually enter the service:jmx:remoting-jmx:// address. When the local process connection is used, it retrieves the connection address via the Sun JDK management instrumentation buffer.
> The exported address can be set via sun.management.ConnectorAddressLink.export(), and doing that would allow JConsole to connect without typing in the address (although still obviously require the jars to be on the classpath).
