Hi, I am trying to use a MBeanProxyFactoryBean together with a clientConnector and the connectOnStartup = "false" option. Our scenario is the following. We have one web application exposing some MBeans via JMX (RMI). Another web application is invoking these MBeans via the MBeanProxyFactoryBean.

During local development we use the maven-jetty-plugin to test the second web application. I don't want to see an Exception on startup if the first web application is not running. Here is the Spring configuration i am trying:

PHP Code:
    <bean id="clientConnector" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.MBeanServerConnectionFactoryBean">
        <property name="serviceUrl" value="${web.remote.jmx.service.url}"/>
        <property name="connectOnStartup" value="false" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="gameplayRecordable" class="org.springframework.jmx.access.MBeanProxyFactoryBean">
        <property name="objectName" value="MYBEAN:name=GAMEPLAY_RECORDING" />
        <property name="proxyInterface" value="com.foo.protoconv.GameplayRecordable" />
        <property name="server" ref="clientConnector" />
        <property name="connectOnStartup" value="false" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="mFileReader" class="com.foo.protoconv.util.mfiles.MFileReader">
        <constructor-arg ref="gameplayRecordable"/>
    </bean> 
Still I am getting an exception on startup (Stacktrace below) and I think this is not happening when the bean is used for the first time but on initialization:

PHP Code:
