OC4J and JMX

The MC4J Application supports connections to OC4J 10g (10.0.3). It uses the ORMI protocol to connect to OC4J and provide access to JMX MBeans running within the target server. It gains access using the Management EJB (MEJB) defined in the JSR77 specification and exposed by OC4J.

Connecting MC4J to OC4J

To connect to a OC4J server, right-click on the root node in the [MC4J Server Connections] tab and select [Connect to server...]. This wil bring up a connection wizard that will ask you to enter server information and supply the location of a local installation of OC4J. The local installation is required to provide the libraries that MC4J needs to connect to OC4JServers. The required set of class libraries required to connect to OC4J will be preset in the connection wizard classpath wizard page.

To remotely access the JMX server, the new connection's 'Principal' and 'Credentials' values must specify a user who is part of the 'administrators' group.

Requirements

The MC4J console has only been tested against OC4J 10g (10.0.3). JMX support is not provided in any earlier releases of OC4J.
