title: Monitoring Tomcat via JConsole in a local setting
body: <p>I've been trying to monitor a locally running Tomcat via JConsole. I, of course, added<br>
  <code>-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote</code> to the CATALINA_OPTS variable in catalina.bat, but when starting JConsole, I couldn't find the process in the process list.</p>
  
  <p>After some searching, I tried out the (more complicated?) non-local setting, further adding </p>
  
  <pre><code>set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=%my.jmx.port% \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and using the right parameters in JConsole, I was able to connect via the remote interface. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else tried and succeded in using JConsole/Tomcat in a pure local setting or is the pseudo-remote way the only chance to get a local tomcat monitored?</p>
