Bea JMX not found on startup

Question

The bean name is:
com.bea:ServerRuntime=WLS1_COMMON_MS1,
Name=DiagnosticsJMXNotificationSource,
Type=WLDFWatchJMXNotificationRuntime,WLDFRuntime=WLDFRuntime,WLDFWatchNotificationRuntime=WatchNotification
When I run jconsole I can see that this bean is not created early on in the clustered environment during restart and I get this exception:
SEVERE: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: com.bea:ServerRuntime=WLS1_COMMON_MS1,Name=DiagnosticsJMXNotificationSource,Type=WLDFWatchJMXNotificationRuntime,WLDFRuntime=WLDFRuntime,WLDFWatchNotificationRuntime=WatchNotification

at weblogic.management.jmx.mbeanserver.WLSMBeanServerInterceptorBase$19.run(WLSMBeanServerInterceptorBase.java:511)
Here are the different tests I've done:
1. local windows machine, admin server, serverlet listener context initiazed - always works - I can see the bean and hook up a listener
2. linux cluster, app cycle listener - always works
3. linux cluster, serverlet listener context initiazed, mostly fails - can't find the com.bea... bean
For case #3 we have an older war project that will eventually be updated to an ear but for now I don't want to
do that because I will end up having to update around 10 of the war projects at the same time. I want to use
the servlet context initialized for now, if it's possible.
So, for some reason the servlet listener on linux runs early and I can't get the JMX notifications to work. I tried
adding a thread sleep but that seems to just block the bean creation and still I see the failure. So, how can I get
this to work?
thanks,
Paul.

Answer 1

I converted the war project to an ear project and I'm still seeing the same problem - the bea.com beans don't show. I added some simple test code in postStart:
for ( String domain : beanServer.getDomains() )
logger.info( "domain: " + domain );
on my local machine I see:
INFO: domain: Security
INFO: domain: com.sun.management
INFO: domain: JMImplementation
INFO: domain: com.oracle.jdbc
INFO: domain: com.bea
and on the cluster w/ many managed servers I see:
INFO: domain: JMImplementation
INFO: domain: oracle.jrockit.management
INFO: domain: com.sun.management
INFO: domain: com.oracle.jrockit
INFO: domain: com.oracle.jdbc
INFO: domain: java.lang
INFO: domain: java.util.logging
So, the bea.com domain is missing? Is there some way to get this domain to be available?
thanks,
Paul.
