JBoss 7 AS / JBoss 6 EAP : Could not create connection to MBean server: : java.net.MalformedURLException: Unsupported protocol: remoting-jmx

I want to gather jmx mbean information from a remote Jboss 7.2 AS from my application WAR deployed on an other JBoss instance.

When I tried to connect with service:jmx:remoting-jmx://servername:9999 the following error occured:

Could not create connection to MBean server: :  java.net.MalformedURLException: Unsupported protocol: remoting-jmx

The first test is a connection from jconsole with the remoting-jmx url. The connection was successful, this verified my jboss configuration is correct.

  Tip: Start from your jboss/bin/jconsole.bat or sh so the correct jars are on the classpath. Use the username/password that is used for the administration console.

I knew about the jboss modules so I added the remoting-jmx module, still no success. Then after a lot of searching and wrong answers I found the solution at:

https://community.jboss.org/message/800430#800430

The most important part is services="import" otherwise the unsupported protocol still occur.

Note:

In JBoss 7.2 AS / JBoss 6.1 EAP the org.jboss.remoting3 is changed to org.jboss.remoting-jmx

Also tried it with services export in standalone.xml without success

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:ee:1.1"><global-modules> <module name="org.jboss.remoting-jmx" services="export"/></global-modules>

Example correct solution:

The jboss-deployment-structure.xml in the WEB-INF dir:

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">
  <deployment>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="org.jboss.remoting-jmx" services="import"/>
  </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
