I haven't used non-JNDI connection pools, so I'm not absolutely sure about this. - From the tomcat-pool documentation[1]: " The connection pool object exposes an MBean that can be registered. In order for the connection pool object to create the MBean, the flag jmxEnabled has to be set to true. This doesn't imply that the pool will be registered with an MBean server, merely that the MBean is created. In a container like Tomcat, Tomcat itself registers the DataSource with the MBean server, the org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource object will then register the actual connection pool MBean. If you're running outside of a container, you can register the DataSource yourself under any object name you specify, and it propagates the registration to the underlying pool. To do this you would call mBeanServer.registerMBean(dataSource.getPool().getJmxPool(),objectname). Prior to this call, ensure that the pool has been created by calling dataSource.createPool(). " So, the JMX bean is being created, but it's not registered with the JMX server so you can't see the bean remotely. You'll have to register it yourself as described above. That one-line call isn't entirely straightforward, so let me refer you to a presentation on monitoring Tomcat via JMX which shows you how to register your own beans. (In your case, the bean exists already, so you'll just be registering the bean from tomcat-pool): http://people.apache.org/~schultz/ApacheCon%20NA%202014/Monitoring%20Apache%20Tomcat%20with%20JMX.pdf Hope that helps, - -chris [1] http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/jdbc-pool.html#JMX -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUTPLAAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYJ1wP/0FhZoL/VgASr3rKUps61ocX SV1DKdwtUalt8f++MuPODJflBEkxsjeO6tmHLlHi1Ew5yCUVDz6/GQFPJDM0j16v tCv0veB6H+5AR4AcSvIvHZLdwnocYN3NY0mIAuxHCwfMNDxgZ5fg6m6r05/7lc6h Q0ZZyIEpx3NT1DpwJ6Qy/4junQ0IkwkVgFaB2NY07M9Ec00uujbn2eMdFiqk0LEo P/qTPTui0V8Y3Pe45NSwgjWzO66O6CrwB2lpt5gZyOcdQ4FQ8RCkaUw4KyPB6xjk cbFl+Lxz7PnpXOu6OTLrVEDbhvevPKdrYUl4wk7/GL5aeIextY4pfV8VeLl6eddj lu5gKNV0kEjgt8j+6HUP4ItGQVKxndYWBm7+TCSdAb+Md0/X9TuJISmYinniK6Mw 93ygRx2M9oSSiqR+LCUz+fXDkDcRNpEMY196OI2T077Gxyyejjsn6238f9p/Uuwr 5Q+9LA8jqHgE00bXl03ZMa8Yq5mc15W+OVG08rPqE7FQmSV6sezTClct+SJ9Jj73 vxoEDFTa0aLQu9SWaZ2V/3md0ydqeVqzBDwehSo6W33+3cau+xIG8+Kkv7RDlQJr QPHCDAnpHmMmbcD4Lwleuua8mxqsq+RGw1X9j4aJB8cTroEvMIvd2DhW70W9O0Fm +PWW7OpOvMQ3NffY01ZF =bYDS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
