Retrieve system properties via twiddle

Question

I am trying to retrieve system properties from JMX-console using twiddle in jboss4.3.

The following command works and provides me value of a single property...

twiddle.sh -u<username> -p<password> -Djnp.disableDiscovery 
--server=localhost:<port>
invoke 'jboss:name=SystemProperties,type=Service' get 
<SYSTEM PROPERTY NAME>

But when i try to get all properties in a single attempt it doesn't work...

twiddle.sh -u<username> -p<password> -Djnp.disableDiscovery 
--server=localhost:<port> 
invoke 'jboss:name=SystemProperties,type=Service' showAll

and shows following exception:

00:02:21,773 ERROR [Twiddle] Exec failed

Any clues??

EDIT

After adding properties-plugin.jar the error changes to this:

01:51:36,366 ERROR [Twiddle] Exec failed
java.lang.RuntimeException: No property editor for type: class org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService$HTMLMap

Answer 1

The reason of this error is that showAll returns object of custom class org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService$HTMLMap that is not present on twiddle's classpath.

Just add to your twiddle.sh:

JBOSS_CLASSPATH="$JBOSS_CLASSPATH:$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib/properties-plugin.jar"

Note, it's for JBoss 4.x. You didn't mention version. But stacktrace suggests that it is JBoss 4.x.
