Unable to locate an MBeanServer instance - WAS6.1

[justsnwbrd]

I am a newbie to JMX. I am trying to leverage the Spring Framework, and have the JMX Server Connector created during my WAS6.1 startup. I am trying to make the Facade MBean accessible via a JMX client Application that will be used remotley. However, I receive a Spring Exception during startup...

Here is my contenxt excerpt and exception excerpt.

Thanks,

I am getting the following exception during my was6.1 startup

netstat -a | find "1099" doesnt show anything listening
