WebLogic and JMX

The MC4J Application supports connections WebLogic servers version 6.1 and higher. It uses RMI and the T3 protocol to connect to WebLogic Application Servers and provide access to JMX MBeans running within that server. WebLogic uses JMX throughout their server design and has hundreds of MBeans deployed in a typical server. (Note: With Weblogic 9, MC4J is also capable of making connections via the standard JMX Remoting API)

Connecting MC4J to WebLogic

To connect to a WebLogic server press the new Connection button int the toolbar. This wil bring up a connection wizard that will ask you to enter server information and supply the location of a local installation of WebLogic. The local installation is required to provide the libraries that MC4J needs to connect to WebLogic Servers. Note: The local installation must be the same version as the server you are connecting to. Different version can be connected to simultaneously if you have all of the different versions installed on a machine. (Also note that it is no longer necessary to copy the weblogic.jar in the mc4j application folder)

Requirements

The MC4J console has only been tested against WebLogic 6.1, 7.0, 8.1 and 9.0 (Diablo).
