How to expose activemq JMX MBeans via jboss web based jmx-console? - jboss

Question

I have been trying to configure activemq such that the broker MBeans are available in jboss's web based jmx-console available at http://localhost:8080/jmx-console.
I have tried
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xmlns:amq="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd

http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core/activemq- core.xsd">
<beans>
<broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core" useJmx="true"
useShutdownHook="false">
<!-- Use the following to configure how ActiveMQ is exposed in JMX -->
<managementContext>
<!-- <managementContext createConnector="false" /> -->
<managementContext>
<MBeanServer>
<bean class="org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanServerLocator"
factory-method="locateJBoss" xmlns="" />
</MBeanServer>
</managementContext>
</managementContext>
</broker>
</beans>
When I deploy the war the piece of xml gives error
cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'bean'.
Any idea how to make activemq MBeans integrate with jboss web based jmx-console?
Default settings with just createConnector=false won't work for me because jboss is configured to not use 1099 RMI port. LocateJboss factory-method call on org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanServerLocator is the only way (I know of) to get jboss MBeanServer handle.

According to the spring JMX doc, you could try something like this :
<bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter">
<property name="server">
<bean id="mBeanServerLocator" class="org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanServerLocator"
factory-method="locateJBoss" />
</property>
</bean>
<broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core" useJmx="true"
useShutdownHook="false">
<!-- Use the following to configure how ActiveMQ is exposed in JMX -->
<managementContext>
<managementContext MBeanServer="exporter"/>
<!-- I am not sure what MBeanServer attribute is waiting for (a ref, an id, something else ...)-->
</managementContext>
</broker>
