This section explains how to configure JConsole to monitor ServiceMix. The ServiceMix port number, the ServiceMix container id, and the JMX Service URL will be neededrequired. This information was specified in the previous section in the Default Settings box.

1. ServiceMix should be running first. Please see the #Getting Started Guide for instructions on running ServiceMix.
2. Start JConsole from a command shell. The JConsole executable can be found in the bin directory of the J2SE installation directory.

   Code Block
   cd [J2SE_install_dir]\bin jconsole

   The JConsole window will appear.
   
   
3. Click on the "Advanced" tab. The following URL must be entered in the "JMX URL" box: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://hostname:port/app_to_monitor. Where the hostname is name of the host on which the application to be monitored is running, the port is the port number to connect to the application, and the app_to_monitor is the JMX enabled application to monitor. For example, if none of the defaults for ServiceMix have been modified and ServiceMix is running on localhost, enter the following: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/defaultJBIJMX.

   where servicemix_install_dir is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed.
2. Run MC4J (see the previous section) and click on org.servicemix.
3. Click on org.servicemix.jbi.framework.ComponentMBeanImpl. The components of the File Binding example will be shown.

ServiceMix comes with a WAR which can be deployed, including ServiceMix inside any Servlet / J2EE application server in a standard deployment unit. The added benefit of the ServiceMix WAR is that it includes a simple JMX operational console, as well allowing your web browser to view JMX attributes and statistics.

To create the ServiceMix WAR from a fresh checkout of the code try thisthe following:

cd servicemix/tooling/servicemix-web
maven war
