Purpose

This demo shows how to start Tomcat with a JMXMP connector to allow easy JMX remote connection.

demo.sh script:

• downloads a raw Apache Tomcat
• downloads org.glassfish.external:opendmk\_jmxremote\_optional\_jar jar artifact for JMXMP support
• builds jmxmp-lifecycle-listener submodule that provides tomcat listener
• adds listener configuration to Apache Tomcat
• pushes JMXMP and Lifecycle listener JARs in tomcat lib/ folder
• runs catalina.sh run

Quick start

./demo.sh

Then, run your usual visualvm command with JMXMP support:

jvisualvm -cp apache-tomcat-*/lib/opendmk_jmxremote*.jar

Then add your new JMXMP connection:

• File > Add JMX Connection...
• Use URL: service:jmx:jmxmp://localhost:5555
• Enjoy !
