How to use Java Mission Control to monitor JVM on a remote server?

Question

Can I use JMC to monitor JVM on a remote server? If so, how to do it? Are there any specific java flags to call before using this? I tried to create a new JVM connection, specifying all the details that it asks for in the wizard. But when I test the connection, it cannot connect to this server. Since there were some settings to activate the local jvm search option, I assume I missed something here (assuming the server firewall is not blocking this connection). Evaluate if anyone can help with this.

In addition, to simplify tunneling, you can have a registry and an RMI server on the same port, as described here: http://hirt.se/blog/?p=289 .
