How to Use JMX to Monitor JVM under GlassFish V1, V2 ...

• There is an RMI Registry that's started in process. This acts as a naming service to download the RMI stub from. This is how the "standard" JMX RMI Connector Server (that's integrated into Java SE 5.0) works.
• One does not have to pass the properties:

  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8004 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

  to the VM.
• This is a non-secure RMI connection. You have to make sure yourself that you are connecting to the "right" server.

• Start the server (asadmin start-domain).
• Start JConsole and connect to the server thus:
  
• Browse to the MBeans tab and see all the JVM Monitoring MBeans yourself.
  
• The same data is available in admin console and admin CLI (asadmin get command) when the VM monitoring level is turned to high.

  JMXConnectorFactory.connect(jmxUrl);
