JMX MBeans exported via Spring - how to also see platform MBeans?

[haroon.rafique]

Using spring 2.5.6.SEC01 with JDK 1.6.0_20. We use Spring to expose some beans using @ManagedResource. The configuration looks as follows:

    <bean id="mbeanServer" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.MBeanServerFactoryBean"/>
    <bean id="registry" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiRegistryFactoryBean">
        <property name="port" value="${rmi.registry.port}"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter">
        <property name="assembler">
            <bean class="org.springframework.jmx.export.assembler.MetadataMBeanInfoAssembler">
                <property name="attributeSource" ref="jmxAttributeSource"/>
            </bean>
        </property>
        <property name="namingStrategy">
            <bean class="org.springframework.jmx.export.naming.MetadataNamingStrategy">
                <property name="attributeSource" ref="jmxAttributeSource"/>
            </bean>
        </property>
        <property name="autodetect" value="true"/>
        <property name="server" ref="mbeanServer"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="jmxAttributeSource"
          class="org.springframework.jmx.export.annotation.AnnotationJmxAttributeSource"/>

    <bean id="serverConnector" class="ca.utoronto.sis.util.ResourceAwareConnectorServerFactoryBean">
        <property name="server" ref="mbeanServer"/>
        <property name="objectName" value="connector:name=rmi"/>
        <property name="serviceUrl"
                  value="service:jmx:rmi://localhost:${jmx.connector.port}/jndi/rmi://localhost:${rmi.registry.port}/swsjmx"/>
        <property name="environment">
            <map>
                <!-- the following is only valid when the sun jmx implementation is used -->
                <entry key="jmx.remote.x.password.file" value="jmxusers.properties"/>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>

Everything works as expected and we can see our custom MBeans using MC4J. Is it possible to connect to the same mbean server and also see the platform MBeans (e.g., MemoryPoolMXBean)? MBeanProxyFactoryBean perhaps? Any pointers are appreciated.

thanks in advance,

The following seems to have worked, if anyone else needs this to work. I changed my mbeanServer to say:

<bean id="mbeanServer" class="java.lang.management.ManagementFactory"
   factory-method="getPlatformMBeanServer"/>

and I changed my serviceUrl to say:

<property name="serviceUrl"
   value="service:jmx:rmi://localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:${rmi.registry.port}/swsjmx"/>

and now I can see my MBeans in the ca.utoronto.sis package as well as the platform MBeans in java.lang package (using, e.g., MC4J).
