Weblogic Jboss Migration issue 1: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: env/jmx/runtime

Migración Weblogic - Jboss problema 1: obtener el Servidor MBeans


I my new job, we have to migrate original web applications deployed in a Weblogic 10.6.3 Application Server to Jboss EAP6 (Jboss AS7).

This post is about the first problem that i have found. The problem is how to instantate the MBeanServer object that containts all my beans.


The slice of code that instantate a the MBeanServer in weblogic is like that:

//Weblogic way

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
this.mbs = ((MBeanServer)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime"));

If you deploy this code in a JBoss, the common error that appears in log is the next one:



javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: env/jmx/runtime

The way to solve this issue is change the context lookup for a FactoryManager 

to get the right MBeanServer.

//JBoss way
import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
//another code
//another code
//.....
this.mbs=ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();

The good news is that this way works both in Jboss and Weblogic.
