I had a similar problem when using jps/jstat and finally I found someone advising to use -J-Djava.io.tmpdir option. It worked for me, try adding -J-Djava.io.tmpdir when calling visualvm

Of course, the JMX port is not opened on the firewall/router. i just login remotely via remote desktop connection and do what I need to do (stop tomcat7 service, update my app in tomee/webapps, and start tomcat7 service). Others may disagree, but i have found this to be quite secure and as it was said earlier in this thread... a piece of cake. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
