Use the Sun Java Enterprise System Application Server Common Tasks page as a starting point to create and manage Application Server instances and clusters.
The provisioning system allows you to provision and manage applications.
The Sun Java Enterprise System Application Server plug-in provides both plans and component procedures as tools for you to perform tasks. By using plans, you link directly to the functionality you desire. Using component procedures, you have a greater number of tasks that you can perform.
This section describes the requirements for using the Sun Java Enterprise System Application Server Plug-In.
