How to to programmatically create diagnostic profile ?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a diaganostic profile programmatically .
I didn't see any example like this. My purpose is to create a profile like in the ' Visualizer ' tool.
I'm trying to use these lines:
Application a=new ApplicationImpl(myApp);
DiagnosticProfileManagerImpl diagnosticProfileManagerImpl=new DiagnosticProfileManagerImpl(a);
probeNames=new ObjectName;
diagnosticProfileManagerImpl.createDiagnosticProfile(profileName, probeNames);
I got a NullPointerException .
Any ideas? examples ?

Hi again ..
I think I know where is the problem but I don't know how to solve it:
i use these lines to make a connection :
     env.put(JMXConnectorFactory.PROTOCOL_PROVIDER_PACKAGES,     "com.bea.core.jmx.remote.provider");
                         System.setProperty("mx4j.remote.resolver.pkgs", "com.bea.core.jmx.remote.resolver");
                         connector = JMXConnectorFactory.newJMXConnector(serviceUrl, env);
                         connector.connect(env);
                         connection = connector.getMBeanServerConnection();
and you suggested to use this :
                         connection=ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
I think there is inconsistency in the typs of the connection mbean.
Neither of of them works fine:
The first one works fine for getting troughput , averageLatency and so on ,
BUT, when i try to terminate ( unregister from the mbean server ),
and than re-connect again, the numbers i'm getting are wrong.
In the second type (ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer() ) , when I want to use as a profile creator ( like in the 'Visualizer' tool - which works fine )
I don't know which of the types to use.
What is your recommendation to to use : for temintinag the probeRuntime, and for making a profile .
again, neither of them works all the way!
Plz help.
