Connecting to JMX server in spring throws exception!

java jmx spring-3

Try to add the following system properties to disable security:

 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false 
 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=39600

So when I try to connect to jmx from jconsole I get this exception:

Caused by: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 78.84.17.116; nested exception is: 
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
    at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPEndpoint.newSocket(TCPEndpoint.java:601)
    at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.createConnection(TCPChannel.java:198)
    ...

I was trying to connect to such url in jconsole: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://78.84.17.116:43030/test

My jmx spring configuration:

What could I be doing wrong that jconsole doesn't want to connect to this jmx server? And what does test in the end of jmx url mean? I just saw that it like that in a tutorial so I wrote the same in my url.

Edit 1: When I run netstat -ntlp on server I get this: tcp6 0 0 :::10099 :::* LISTEN 10754/java

Where 10754 is the right java application. Is that correct? Running telnet ..*.* on 10099 I get a message that it connected to it too. So I guess it's not firewall on server side?

Edit 2: Okay well I'm trying now (and the exception bellow was thrown on server too) to run the app on my local environment (in Eclipse) and I guessing that it ain't server problem because all the same things happen.

Could the problem be in configuration? Could someone verify that my configuration is correct?

Edit 3: I get this each time when I start the app. I guess that is the problem. It happens both on server and my machine..

Yep. You should add them to command line (if your are running from a command line) or to some kind of JAVA_OPTS if you are running server
Rihards about 13 years

@tarlog, so did as you said and I get this exception: Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serverConnector' defined in class path resource [META-INF/hw-common-jmx.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.io.IOException: Cannot bind to URL [rmi://localhost:39600/myconnector]: javax.naming.NoPermissionException [Root exception is java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is: java.rmi.AccessException: Cannot modify this registry] Need stack trace?
Rihards about 13 years

Any idea what does the access exceptions mean?
Tarlog about 13 years

do you run with SecurityManager?
Rihards about 13 years

@Tarlog, added stack trace (and one question to main post) for the exception what is thrown when I run the app with system properties you provided. (I just changed the port to 43030 in -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port)
Rihards about 13 years

@Tarlog, by the way, when not running my app with these params so the exception is not thrown on my local machine I tried opening jconsole and select the app by process id and it worked out like a charm. However accessing it with the url didn't work..
Rihards about 13 years

@Tarlog, can you check if my service url is correct? I really don't understand why there has to be localhost and my ip in it and a /test in the end. What should the remote url I enter in jconsole to connect look like?
Rihards about 13 years

@Tarlog, I doubt I run with any securityManager. Haven't seen anything like that in my app.

That was not enough in my case (Spring 3.2.5). I had to stop using the RmiRegistryFactoryBean and use registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(jmxPort); before I was allowed to register anything.
joensson almost 10 years

I had the com.sun.management.jmxremote properties mentioned set - but still got the AccessException - I then replaced my use of the RmiRegistryFactoryBean in Spring with a call to LocateRegistry.createRegistry(jmxPort) - and I could register my mbeans without getting exceptions. The problem only occurred for me when running my war inside an embedded Jetty (for integrationtest). When I deployed my war in other app servers I was allowed to register my mbeans. It seems like Jetty (9) auto creates a remote rmiregistry on the com.sun.management.jmxremote.port but with other security settings
