How do I access the MBeanServer or MBeanServerConnection from inside JBoss EAP

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
  • 4.x
  • 5.x
  • 6.x
  • 7.x

Issue

• How do I access the Content from docs.oracle.com is not included.MBeanServer or Content from docs.oracle.com is not included.MBeanServerConnection from inside JBoss EAP?

Resolution

• EAP 4.x, 5.x

  import org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanServerLocator;
  import javax.management.MBeanServerConnection;
  ...
  MBeanServerConnection server = MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss();
  

  Note: The MBeanServerLocator class is located in $JBOSS_HOME/client/jboss-j2se.jar in EAP 5.x, and in $JBOSS_HOME/client/jmx-client.jar (or $JBOSS_HOME/client/jbossall-client.jar) in EAP 4.x.

  import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
  import javax.management.MBeanServer;
  ...
  MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
