Tools For Administration - Sun Microsystems GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1 Administration Manual

Enterprise Server Overview and Concepts
Enterprise Server includes the Metro web services stack (http://metro.dev.java.net). Metro
implements important WS-* standards and WS-I standardized interoperability profiles in
order to assure interoperability between Java and .NET web services.
Enterprise Server includes the implementation of Java Business Integration (JBI) specifications.
JBI is a Java standard for structuring business systems according to a Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA).

Tools for Administration

The Enterprise Server provides the following administration tools and APIs:
"Admin Console" on page 24
■
"Command-line Interface (asadmin Utility)" on page 25
■
"JConsole" on page 25
■
Admin Console
The Admin Console is a browser-based tool that features an easy-to-navigate interface and
online help. The administration server (also called the Domain Administration Server or DAS)
must be running to use the Admin Console. To, launch the Administration Console, you must
know the administration server hostname and port number. When the Enterprise Server was
installed, you chose a port number for the server, or used the default port of 4848. You also
specified a user name and master password.
To start the Admin Console, in a web browser type:
http://hostname:port
For example:
http://kindness.sun.com:4848
If the Admin Console is running on the machine on which the Enterprise Server was installed,
specify localhost for the host name.
On Windows, start the Enterprise Server Admin Console from the Start menu.
The installation program creates the default administrative domain (named domain1) with the
default port number 4848, as well as an instance separate from the domain administration
server (DAS). After installation, additional administration domains can be created. Each
domain has its own domain administration server, which has a unique port number. When
specifying the URL for the Admin Console, be sure to use the port number for the domain to be
administered.
