jconsole cannot connect to remote application

[Zsolt Koppany]

Hi,

J start the remote application (tomcat-5.5.12) with the properties as below:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8999 \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \

The application does work and the port 8999 is really used (I can start
telnet HOSTNAME 8999) but jconsole gives me always "Connection failed". I
have already searches (with google) for a solution but nothing helped me.

I have jdk-1-5.05 on Linux and also on Windows and the application runs on
Linux and jconsole on Windows.

Any ideas?

Zsolt
