How do I access Websphere 7 MBeans using Sun’s JConsole?
Answer
Required libraries in bootclasspath (from Websphere 7):
ibmorbapi.jar ibmorb.jar ibmcfw.jar
Required libraries in classpath:
com.ibm.ws.admin.client_7.0.0.jar (from Websphere 7) tools.jar (Sun) jconsole.jar (Sun)
Below is the script that ties everything together. Update first 4 lines according to your environment (On Linux/Unix – replace environment variables %<name>% to $<name>)
set JAVA_HOME=C:toolsjdk1.6.0_19 set WS7_HOME=C:/tools/WebSphere/AppServer set WS_HOST=127.0.0.1 set WS_PORT=2809 set BOOTPATH=%WS7_HOME%/java/jre/lib/ibmorbapi.jar;%WS7_HOME%/java/jre/lib/ibmorb.jar;%WS7_HOME%/java/jre/lib/ibmcfw.jar set CLASSPATH=%WS7_HOME%/runtimes/com.ibm.ws.admin.client_7.0.0.jar;%JAVA_HOME%libtools.jar;%JAVA_HOME%libjconsole.jar %JAVA_HOME%binjconsole -J-Xbootclasspath/p:%BOOTPATH% -J-Djava.class.path=%CLASSPATH% service:jmx:iiop://%WS_HOST%:%WS_PORT%/jndi/JMXConnector
And that should do it! I would like to thank Alan Chan for his response on this posting about Websphere 6.1 that helped with this.
