I sent this in over the weekend and didn't get a response so let me try
this again a bit differently.
The Sun JDK 5.0 JMX tutorial shows that it is possible and simple to
create JMX client and JMX server in separate JVMs and have them talk to
each other.
The first article cited by Mr. Hall shows that it is possible and simple
to create a JMX server running inside Tomcat and talk to it through
tools such as MC4J and JManage.
I need to combine the Server side approach recommended by the article
(JMX server within Tomcat webapp) with the Client side approach
recommended by Sun in their tutorial.
So far my client-side app can connect to the MBean server inside of
Tomcat and talk to it but it fails to create the MBean needed to
interact with the server because of ClassLoader issues.
Questions:
1. Is this even possible? It would seem to be so since MC4J and JManage
know how to do it.
2. If so, how do I surmount these ClassLoader issues?
Thank you very much.

Okay using approach of first article. The MBean server is correctly
initialized and everything on the server side looks good.
Now we come to the client side. The first article assumes you are
just going to connect using a tool such as MC4J or JManage (monitoring
tools).
That is not my use case. I want to write a command-line client that
can talk to the MBean (which is inside of Tomcat) and invoke an
operation on the MBean.
I use the Client.java sample from the Sun tutorial as a starting point.
I am able to connect to the server, and get a list of MBeans, but I
fail when trying to call createMBean(). I am using the simple
two-parameter version of createMBean() and it always fails with
javax.management.ReflectionException: The MBean class could not be
loaded by the default loader repository
It seems pretty clear that my client needs to use one of the other
versions of createMBean(), one that specifies some other Class Loader
but I have no clue what I should be using for that.

Let me ask my question a little more directly:
Does the presence of a descriptor cause instantiation of an instance
of an MBean
or do I have to write code to create a server-side instance of my
MBean and if so, where should this code reside
or is there some configuration artifact that causes this
instantiation to happen?
Why don't you take a look at these two articles:

If you use the NetBeans IDE you might be interested in the JMX plugin
for NB. Here is a link to a tutorial "Getting Started with JMX
Monitoring in NetBeans IDE 6.0"
