Disabling JMX in a spring application

You could try to disable jmx autoconfiguration:

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={JmxAutoConfiguration.class})

You need to disable the setting in your application.properties file (it is automatically turned on if not set). Either edit or create this file: src/main/resources/config/application.properties

That is for a maven project, so if not in maven, just put 'resources' at the same level as your java folder.

You will just need this single line in the file (it can be blank otherwise):

spring.jmx.enabled=false

If you want to add other settings, here are all the options: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/common-application-properties.html

Are you using spring boot? If so you just need to place the file in src\main\resources\application.properties by default

You can check sample projects here https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples

In my case, it was IntelliJ.

IntelliJ have a setting "Enable JMX agent" in the run configuration. This should be unchecked to disable JMX.

If checked, this will override any setting that you make in the application via properties/yml.
