Using the Admin Console
to Administer JBI Components
The Sun Java System (GlassFish) Application Server
includes a web browser-based administrative tool call the Admin Console. The
Admin Console can be used to start and stop domains, configure the server,
deploy applications, and so forth. The Admin Console provides context sensitive
help to assist you with administration tasks.
Starting the Admin Console
To start the Admin Console from NetBeans, right-click the Sun Java System Application Server (or GlassFish V2) node, under Servers
in the Services window, and select View Admin Console from the popup menu.
To start the Admin Console from a web browser located on the same computer
on which the application server is running, open a web browser and type: http://localhost:4848/. This is the configured default. If another
port was specified during the installation of your application server, use
that port number.
To launch the Admin Console on a computer that is not hosting the application
server, open a web browser and enter the following web address:http://<hostname>:<port>where hostname is the name
of the computer on which the application server is running, and port is
the port number for the server.
When you successfully connect, enter the username and password
specified when the application server was installed. The Admin Console's default
username and password are admin (username) and adminadmin (password).
Administering JBI Components from the Admin Console
From the left pane of the Admin Console, select the JBI node to view
the screens available for JBI administration. By selecting the various JBI
nodes in the Application Server tree, you can open JBI administrative screens
to perform the tasks listed in the table below.
