Spring, JMX and RMI

[uwan]

For several month I use JMX in pure Java applications. Now we want to expand our spring applications with JMX too.
For our example we use Tomcat 5.5, JDK 1.6 and Spring 2.0.2 .
All seems to work since trying to initialize the rmi-connector :

The configuration looks like :

<beans>

<bean id="camclient" class="demo.spring.client.CamClient">

<bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporte r" lazy-init="false">
<property name="beans">
<map>
<entry key="bean:name=camclient" value-ref="camclient"/>
</map>
</property>
<property name="server" ref="serverConnector"/>
</bean>

<bean id="serverConnector" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.ConnectorSe rverFactoryBean">
<property name="objectName" value="connector:name=rmi"/>
<property name="serviceUrl" value="service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/camclient"/>
</bean>

<bean id="registry" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiRegistr yFactoryBean">
<property name="port" value="1099"/>
</bean>

</beans>


Any ideas whats going wrong?

Thanks,

Uwe

PS : i am newbie in spring

Add depends-on attribute for serverConnector bean:

<bean id="serverConnector" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.ConnectorSe rverFactoryBean" depends-on="registry">

[uwan]

.. and it works - Thanks!

Hi,

I have pretty much the same setup in the config file and I get the same error even with the

depends-on="registry"

set in the serverConnector bean definition. It looks like the registry startup was too slow? If I manually start a rmiregistry before starting up tomcat, all works fine...

regards raoul

Thank you so much, the spring ref doc should really update to reflect this.
