Acquiring a Reference to the MBean Server

Procedure

1. Acquire a reference to the MBean server:

   InitialContext initialCtx = new InitialContext();
   MBeanServer mbs = (MBeanServer)initialCtx.lookup("jmx");

   For more information about how to connect to the MBean Server, see Connecting to an MBeanServer .

2. Add a reference from the application to the JMX library.

   This is done in the application-j2ee-engine.xml situated in the /META-INF folder of the EAR. In this xml you need to add the following code:

     <reference reference-type="weak">
       <reference-target target-type="library">
         tc~jmx
       </reference-target>
     </reference>
