 Description   

Zabbix Java Gateway only supports JMX connection through RMI.
Recent applications servers, for instance Wildfly, offers JMX connection over http-remoting-jmx.
As Java Gateway has RMI hard coded in the connection string, a code change has to be made in order to change the connection type (com.zabbix.gateway.JMXItemChecker)

Please, enable support for http-remoting-jmx.

Could it be a duplicate of ZBXNEXT-1274?

Well, not sure regarding Wildfly and http-remoting-jmx but for JBoss EAS 6 and remoting-jmx it does the trick (in addition to adding some jboss remoting-jmx JARs of course).
See: http://www.denniskanbier.nl/blog/monitoring/jboss-eap-6-monitoring-using-remoting-jmx-and-zabbix/

It's slightly different as Wildfly uses WebSocket support to upgrade the HTTP protocol for JMX communication.
The url should be:

url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:http-remoting-jmx://" + conn + ":" + port);

Note the http in connection string.

But we have changed the code in a similar way as a workaround to this problem.
It would be nice if the url could be customized in Zabbix user interface as stated in ZBXNEXT-1274.
