I have the pulse.war file hosted in a Tomcat instance and I am trying to get it to connect to my Gemfire 7 cluster via a locator running as a JMX Manager. The locator and my only gemfire cache server node in the cluster seem to both be communicating and operating properly and I can start the Pulse application but I don't see any stats relating to my gemfire cluster in the Pulse web interface. Furthermore in the catalina.out log file of the Tomcat server where I am running Pulse I am getting repeating stack traces like the following:

Please let me know if you need more info or log files and I can post it.
