Administering JBI Components

Using the JBI Manager in the NetBeans IDE to Administer JBI Components

The JBI Manager is a term used for the JBI node (and it's associated functionality), accessed from the Services window of the NetBeans IDE. The JBI node is found under Servers > GlassFish V2 in the Services tree, and is only available when GlassFish is running. To start the GlassFish Application Server, right-click the GlassFish V2 and select Start.

The expanded JBI node contains directories for the JBI components. Right-click the JBI component directory to access the following functions:

Forces the shutdown of a component when circumstances do not allow the component to shutdown. This option instructs the JBI runtime to ignore any failures in the component's method when processing the command.

Advanced > Force Uninstall

YES 

YES 

   

Advanced > Force Undeploy
