The AppManagement MBean is not found

[Aurelio Calegari]

Hello,

I'm trying to access the AppManagement MBeam through WebSphere Soap facilities. Here's the code:

//Setup security/conn props...
 
Properties connectProps = new Properties();
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE, AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE_SOAP);
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_HOST, "remote_host...");
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_PORT, "remote_port...");
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.USERNAME, "wasadm");
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.PASSWORD, "my_secret");
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_SECURITY_ENABLED, "true");
connectProps.setProperty("com.ibm.SOAP.ConfigURL", "file://.../soap.client.props");
connectProps.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", dir+"DummyClientTrustFile.jks");
connectProps.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", dir+"DummyClientKeyFile.jks");
connectProps.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "WebAS");
connectProps.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "WebAS");
 
//Get Client
AdminClient adminClient = AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(connectProps);
 
//Get AppManagement
AppManagement appMgmt =  AppManagementProxy.getJMXProxyForClient(adminClient);

When code reaches line:

AppManagement appMgmt =  AppManagementProxy.getJMXProxyForClient(adminClient);

It blows up a big fat AdminException:
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: ADMA0089E: The AppManagement MBean is not found.
at com.ibm.websphere.management.application.AppManagementProxy.<init>(AppManagementProxy.java:131)
at com.ibm.websphere.management.application.AppManagementProxy.getJMXProxyForClient(AppManagementProxy.java:75)

What's weird is that there's no "AppManagement" MBean available for this application. If I execute the following code:

        Set s = adminClient.queryNames(null, null);
        for(Object o : s){
            ObjectName discoverybean = (ObjectName) o;
            System.out.println(discoverybean.getKeyProperty("type"));
        }

I see many object types available, including "ApplicationManager", but cannot find AppManagement MBean.

My system config is:

IBM WebSphere Application Server - ND, 6.0.2.23
Build Number: cf230739.19
Solaris OS
Cluster of 6 nodes

Does anybody have any idea on how to "install the AppManagement MBean" or making it available somehow?

Thank you very much!
