Install jmxremote_optional.jar in JVM used for Spring CI builds [SPR-8093]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sam Brannen opened SPR-8093 and commented

Status Quo

At the moment, several of our JMX tests cannot be run on the CI server. See the broken tests here (**) for an example.

Thus we have had to disable them directly in the code. Otherwise, we get an "Unsupported protocol: jmxmp" error.

The reason is that the jmxremote_optional.jar is not available in the classpath of the JVM.

Related Resources

• EBR-349 (**)

• jmxremote_optional.jar can be acquired from Oracle in the JMX Remote API 1.0.1_04 Reference Implementation (**) download.

Notes

To solve this problem on my Mac workstation, I downloaded the JMX Remote API 1.0.1_04 Reference Implementation (see link above) and extracted jmxremote_optional.jar into the lib/ext folder of my local JVM.

Hi Sam, I've dropped the jar into jre/lib/ext/ in both 1.5 and 1.6 JDKs on the build server. Let me know if that helps.

I re-enabled the ignored JMX tests, and the following build succeeded:

https://build.springsource.org/browse/SPR-TRUNKQUICK-3680/

So it looks like everything is working!

Thanks
