JMX Agent with firewall

[Jagannath]

Hi,

I have a Java Application that I have JMX enabled using the Java runtime
options -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote ... I connect to this JMX agent
from a remote Java client. My problem is when there is a firewall
between agent and client I am unable to connect to the agent. As there
are random ports opened for communication I cannot configure my firewall
appropriately.

Is there a way I can specify what ports to be used for communication on
the agent side? Is there a runtime option available for this?

 From the client I believe I can provide the port while creating the JMX
Service URL.

Regards,
Jagannath

Of course that assumes you can poke a hole in your firewall and specify
a pre-main.

An alternative is to have an reverse proxy JMX connector that does
general JMX on the back end and transports over HTTP(S) on the front
end.  I wrote one, but the company owns it -- sorry.

Another alternative would be the JMX web connector, but that really
needs JMX 2's cascading to be as useful in my opinion.
