Dirk is correct you need to check out the doc in order to understand your options. To add a little specificity to your challenge, you need to do at least the following to get going: 1) set remote monitoring options when you are starting the JVM. This can be accomplished multiple ways. One place is in catalina.bat
1) set remote monitoring port -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=NNNN 2) turn on remote monitoring -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote there are others for SSL and authentication and you have to decide if they are needed. 2) create the RMI connector client in a very small bit of java code as well as establish as use the MBeanServerConnection class to access TOMCAT domains and MBeans. THis is probably about a 1/2 dozen LOC to gain access and there are examples to be found. You can use JConsole (JMX monitoring from SUN) which is located in the JDK 1.5 BIN directory to validate configuration tasks without any coding or installing any other software. hope this helps. - andy Dirk Weigenand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, > --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- > Von: "jiang ying" > An: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org > Betreff: ACCESSING TOMCAT JMX SUPPORT REMORTELY VIA THE RMI CONNECTOR > Datum: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 16:26:00 +0800 > > hi, I know the way to access Tomcat JMX support via http adaptor. > I also know how to monitor an application via JMX by registering an > mbeanserver. > But I really confused about accessing Tomcat JMX support via RMI > connector: > 1. how to configure Mx4j RMI connector with Tomcat 5.5, since only > Activating JMX MX4J Http Adaptor could be found in the Tomcat website. > 2. after configuring RMI connector, how can I access Tomcat JMX support > programmatically?

You can then use e.g. MC4J (http://mc4j.org/confluence/display/MC4J/Home?) for monitoring Tomcat.
