Remote connection to Active-MQ Using JMX - activemq

Question

I have a java application for monitoring the individual queues on Active MQ (version 5.13.0). The Objective of this application is to connect to the Active MQ broker and find out the in flight message count for specific queues. If the in flight message count is more than 50 then it sends an alert. This application performs this check every 10 minutes (Using Quartz Scheduler).
When I am connecting to the AMQ broker which uses the IP address to connect to the AMQ, I receive the IOException with the following stack trace -
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I am using the following code to connect to the AMQ broker over JMX
JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://192.168.11.72:1099/jmxrmi");
JMXConnector jmxc = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url);
MBeanServerConnection conn = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection();
ObjectName activeMq = new ObjectName("org.apache.activemq:Type=Broker,BrokerName=localhost");
BrokerViewMBean mbean = (BrokerViewMBean)MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(conn, activeMq, BrokerViewMBean.class, true);
//for each queue
for(ObjectName name : mbean.getQueues())
{
if(("dbg.notmanager.netsizeDelivery".equals(name)))
{
//obtain an instance of QueueViewMBean
QueueViewMBean queueMbean = (QueueViewMBean)MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(conn, name, QueueViewMBean.class, true);
long inFlight = queueMbean.getInFlightCount();
if(inFlight >= 50)
{
sender.sendPassiveCriticalAlert(hostname, "Passive.GCDBG", "InFlight Messages for a consumer on " + name);
}
}
Notes:
1. If I install the AMQ on my local machine and deploy the code above on Tomcat running on my local machine it works. What I mean is, when both (Java Client and AMQ ) are on same machine, it works.
2. I have done the necessary configurations on AMQ server as mentioned here configure JMX for ActiveMQ for remoting access
3. I have checked the connectivity to IP and port mentioned in the code through telnet and it works.
4. I have also recorded the TCP dump on the AMQ server machine and I can see the request reaching there.
5. Both machines (where Tomcat and AMQ run) are not virtual machines, but are dedicated physical machines in the same network.
Please help :)

Answer 1

as logs say Connection refused, i think connection configs error.
you need these credentials too
JMXServiceURL url = ...;
Map env = ...;
String[] creds = {"admin", "activemq"};
env.put(JMXConnector.CREDENTIALS, creds);
JMXConnector jmxc = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, env);

Answer 2

I am able to connect now using the JConsole as well as the Java Code I have written. The Problem was in the env file (under amqHome/bin/) had a property java.rmi.server.hostname which had a value 127.0.0.1
I changed this value to 192.168.11.72 (the IP of the machine) and it worked ....
Thanks all for the support ....
