I have honestly never tried this remoting approach. But, if both your client machine and the server happen to both be linux boxes or similar *nixes with SSH, then you can ssh -XCA to the server and start JConsole on the server and have the GUI display on your client machine with X port forwarding. A JConsole running locally to the server JVM you want to monitor should not have any trouble connecting.
First thing I would do is to delete both /tmp and /work directories under JBoss /default and redeploy the WAR. If that doesn't, I would upgrade the JDK to use a more recent version of 1.6. 1.6.0_01 is pretty old.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
