Apple JBoss's Management Tool - problem with applet

i think i've determined that the problem is with the certificate - i've tried both connecting from the server, as well as tunneling in over ssh. neither works. it's possible that the cert is trying to use my bonjour name. not sure.

anyway, i've found working apple's installation of JBoss to be quite troublesome. no one seems to do doing anything with it, based upon how little documentation there is. this is all i can find: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Conceptual/J2EEJavaAppServerGuide/AdministeringAppServers/chapter_5_section2.html

it's not very helpful.

is anyone running the Apple's JBoss Management tool?

ok, still trying to resolve this problem. i have been unable to run Apple's JBoss Management Tool. has anyone successfully run this? i get several complaints about the certificate. ultimately, the error is that the applet does not load:

applet com.webobjects.jboss.jmc.JMCTreeApplet not loaded

does anyone have any advise on how to approach this problem?

ok, sometimes it's just better to answer your own question.

in order to get the applet working, i have to run Java Preferences, which was installed when i added in java 1.5 - seems like this applet doesn't like java 1.5 being used for applets.
