The method RMIConnector.getMBeanServerConnection() does not throw IOException
when the connection to the remote MBean server has not yet been established.
JMX Remote API spec for the method getMBeanServerConnection() reads:

 "Throws: IOException - if a valid MBeanServerConnection cannot be created,
 for instance because the connection to the remote MBean server has not yet
 been established (with the connect method), or it has been closed, or it
 has broken."

The following test fails running on JDK 1.5.0-beta-b26.
See below the test source and the execution log:

import java.io.IOException;

        try {
            final JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi://");
            final RMIConnector client = new RMIConnector(url, null);

            // IOException is expected
            try {
                final MBeanServerConnection connection =
                    client.getMBeanServerConnection();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println("PASSED");
