Edmon, Did you get an answer to your question? I found your question quite interesting. I ran some tests and received the same error (RMI permission) as you. I used JConsole as well as looked at JMXProxy and could not determine if my datasource (in this case MySQL) was running or not. The informatio available via JMX was the same whether MySQL was started or not. I am wondering if creating your own MBean is the appropriate way to test the connection. Let me know how this comes out. - Andy Gordon

I've looked at DataSource but that one does not expose getConnection, and the one that requires username and password throws RMI permission exception. I would really like to have something simple as "can connect" or similar. -- Thank you, Edmon Begoli http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/software --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
