Accessing WildFly JMX Bus Remotely with novaordis-jmx
Internal
Overview
The WildFly JMX bus can be accessed programmatically using standard JMX remoting API, as described in the Remote Access to a JMX Server section. novaordis-jmx is a library that provides a thin layer of functionality in top of the client-side JMX remoting API, with the intention to facilitate programmatic JMX access to a remote JMX bus. Note that novaordis-imx is NOT necessary for programmatic JMX access, but its code introduces a certain degree of convenience, and it can be used as an example for direct use of the JMX remote API.
Classpath
JBoss 6 Classpath
JBoss 6 exposes the JMX bus over its remoting protocol, so the JMX client needs JBoss remoting support in its classpath, which is available in ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/client/jboss-cli-client.jar.
java ... -cp ...:${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/client/jboss-cli-client.jar:...

URL
JBoss 6 URL
service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:9999
Note that if using javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL, only the "remoting-jmx" is needed as "protocol", the "service:imx" part is automatically prepended by the built-in logic.
