BeanSpy: WebSphere Application Server JMXQuery to list deployed applications

If you are running WebSphere, here are a few quick steps to validating the BeanSpy installation.

Once you have deployed BeanSpy to a web application server, the next step is to see that it works.  While look at the /Stats or /Stats/Info is a nice cross-platform solution, sometimes you want to know what is running on your specific application server.

As of this writing, the supported versions of WebSphere 6.1 or 7.0.

Note: adjust hostname and port respectively

Finally, another quick test is to hit the previously mentioned Stats or Stats/Info pages for JVM information.
