Okay using approach of first article. The MBean server is correctly initialized and everything on the server side looks good.

Now we come to the client side. The first article assumes you are just going to connect using a tool such as MC4J or JManage (monitoring tools).

That is not my use case. I want to write a command-line client that can talk to the MBean (which is inside of Tomcat) and invoke an operation on the MBean.

I use the Client.java sample from the Sun tutorial as a starting point.

I am able to connect to the server, and get a list of MBeans, but I fail when trying to call createMBean(). I am using the simple two-parameter version of createMBean() and it always fails with

javax.management.ReflectionException: The MBean class could not be loaded by the default loader repository

It seems pretty clear that my client needs to use one of the other versions of createMBean(), one that specifies some other Class Loader but I have no clue what I should be using for that.

Let me ask my question a little more directly:

Does the presence of a descriptor cause instantiation of an instance of an MBean or do I have to write code to create a server-side instance of my MBean and if so, where should this code reside or is there some configuration artifact that causes this instantiation to happen?



Why don't you take a look at these two articles:
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/11/15/using-jmx-to-manage-web-applications.html?page=1

http://marxsoftware.blogspot.com/2008/07/jmx-model-mbeans-with-apache-commons.html

If you use the NetBeans IDE you might be interested in the JMX plugin for NB. Here is a link to a tutorial "Getting Started with JMX Monitoring in NetBeans IDE 6.0"
