Coherence MBean not registering

Question

Hi,
We are using coherence with WLS9.1 and Coherence 3.3.1 On Solaris 10. We start Tangosol by calling DefaultCacheServer.start() in WLS Application Life Cycle. When I openup JConsole, I see Coherence MBean.
We removed WLS Application Lifecycle and replaced it with SpringContextListener and WSSpringServlet.
-- Pre Start is called in contextInitialzed() of SpringContextListener
-- Post Start is called in init of WSSpringServlet
-- Post Stop is called in contextDestroyed() of SpringContextListener
Now when i start the server, I do not see Coherence MBean anymore.
I tried downloadeding jmx-console app from oracle website, and it couldn't find MBeans, meaning that Coherence MBeans was not available.
Any one know, why this is happening or Am I doing something wrong?
My TANGOSOL OPTIONS:
-Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=coherence-cache-config.xml -Dtangosol.coherence.clusteraddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Dtangosol.coherence.clusterport=9001 -Dtangosol.coherence.ttl=2 -Dtangosol.coherence.management=all -Dtangosol.coherence.management.remote=true -Dtangosol.coherence.management.readonly=true -Dtangosol.coherence.log=log4j -Dtangosol.coherence.log.level=5 -Dtangosol.coherence.log.limit=4096 -Dtangosol.coherence.replicated.request.timeout=120000 -Dtangosol.coherence.optimistic.request.timeout=120000 -Dtangosol.coherence.hibernate.cacheconfig=coherence-cache-config.xml -Dtangosol.coherence.hibernate.lockattemptmillis=60000 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9003 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
Thanks,
Tim

Answer 1

After digging through the configuration, I found the following:
Earlier we extraced all the jars (including coherence.jar and tangosol.jar) to a folder and that folder was added to classpath during server startup. We also had the jars in the ear. Since we had ApplicationLifecycle impemented, we did not see any issues.
The moment we removed the ApplicationLifeCycle and change it to contextlistener and servlet, there was some class conflicts since the jars were both in a folder outside that was in classpath as well as jars being inside ear.
So we removed the jars from outside folder as well as removed the folder from classpath during server startup.
Now coherence starts fine with application using DefaultCacheServer.start() and I am able to put/get entries fron cache.
Only thing I don't see is that MBeans don't show up in JConsole or any JMX Viewer.
I am not sure if we have to have coherence.jar and tangosol.jar explicity defined in classpath?
Any ideas?
