    JMX is an external tool used for monitoring Java applications. It is not available in the Docker image from Adobe. I have added it separately.

    oh my miss but i did tried with the string you provided 
    tx


    No worries.

    Try it with, then without, the java.policy addition. Remember to restart ColdFusion each time.

    * note forgot to mention 
    it works when i manyally add a jdk to install jdk eg [ jdk-11.0.17 ] from external source, extending the base adobe/coldfusion image, but can it be done from base image,without the need to modify the base image or custom custom Dockerfile

    I've not yet had a chance to test this on my own, but can you try adding these to those jvm startup args for cf:

     

    --add-modules jdk.httpserver --add-exports jdk.httpserver/com.sun.net.httpserver=jdk.httpserver

     

    If it works (or not), please let us know.

    thank you for the advice ,
    i tried adding the above to jvm args 
    but it just stuck saying 
    """"""

    2024-01-11 12:59:50 Starting ColdFusion 2021 server ...
    2024-01-11 12:59:57 There has been an error starting ColdFusion 2021 server, please check the logs.
    2024-01-11 12:59:59 [] Checking server startup status...
    2024-01-11 13:00:05 [] Checking server startup status...
    2024-01-11 13:00:11 [] Checking server startup status...
    """"""
    and it did not start the coldfusion server , there was no entries in cf logs 
    * i think the bare adobecoldfusion/coldfusion2021 does not include jdk it just has jre to run java application 
    coz when i install jdk-11 and change java home path to jdk-11 it works [ jmx exporter ] for prometheus
