Using the Admin Console to Administer JBI Components

The 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 GlassFish Application Server 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 is admin; the password was defined during Java CAPS Installation.

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.
