How to set JMX remote port system environment parameters through java code for remote monitoring?

Question

I have a program which requires dynamically (i.e. at run time) opening an available socket and start a JMX agent on it. This JMX parameters are being set inside the Java cod

If you don't specify any jmxremote env as run param then JMX management agent was not loaded. You can try this for dynamic loading :

public static String loadJMXAgent(int port) throws IOException, AttachNotSupportedException, AgentLoadException, AgentInitializationException {
    System.setProperty("com.sun.management.jmxremote.port", Integer.toString(port));
    String name = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName();
    VirtualMachine vm = VirtualMachine.attach(name.substring(0, name.indexOf('@')));

    String lca = vm.getAgentProperties().getProperty("com.sun.management.jmxremote.localConnectorAddress");
    if (lca == null) {
        Path p = Paths.get(System.getProperty("java.home")).normalize();
        if (!"jre".equals(p.getName(p.getNameCount()-1).toString().toLowerCase())) p = p.resolve("jre");
        File f = p.resolve("lib").resolve("management-agent.jar").toFile();
        if (!f.exists()) throw new IOException("Management agent not found");

        vm.loadAgent(f.getCanonicalPath(), "com.sun.management.jmxremote");
        lca = vm.getAgentProperties().getProperty("com.sun.management.jmxremote.localConnectorAddress");
    }
    vm.detach();
    return lca;
}

You must include jdk/lib/tools.jar
