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.

JBI Node (select node)	Console Screen	Functions Available
JBI	General (tab)	Provides a summary of the installed JBI Runtime Components, as well as links to the various component screens.
	Configuration (tab)	Configure JBI Runtime: configuration for JBI Component and Library installation and operation, and JBI service assembly deployment and operation.
	Logging (tab)	Configure JBI System Runtime Loggers. Specify log levels for the individual loggers.
	Monitoring (tab)	View runtime monitoring statistics for the JBI Runtime framework and Normalized Message Router.
Service Assemblies	Service Assemblies	Manage JBI service assemblies. Functions include deploy, undeploy, start, stop, and shutdown, and allows you to view current state of each service assembly.
Service Assemblies	Specific Service Assemblies (select a specific service assembly under the Service Assemblies node)	Provides three tabs that allow you to: General: View the details for a JBI service assembly. Descriptor: View the JBI archive metadata `jbi.xml` contents. Monitoring: View statistics for a service assembly.
Components	Components	Manage JBI binding components and service engines. Functions include install, uninstall, upgrade, start, stop, and shutdown, and allows you to view current state of each component.
Components	Specific Binding Component or Service Engine (select a specific component under the Components node)	Provides seven tabs that allow you to: General: View the details for a JBI binding component or service engine. Configuration: Configure properties, depending on the component. Some components do not have configuration properties. Application: Allows you to select or create a user-named Application Configuration or Application Variable. Descriptor: View the JBI archive metadata `jbi.xml` contents. Loggers: Manage the JBI component loggers. Specify log levels for the individual loggers. Monitoring: View statistics for a service assembly. Libraries: View installed Shared Libraries required by this component.
Shared Libraries	Shared Libraries	Manage JBI Shared Libraries. Functions include install and uninstall, and provides a description of the installed libraries.
	Specific Shared Library (select a specific Shared Library under the Shared Libraries node)	Provides three tabs that allow you to: General: View the details for a JBI shared library. Descriptor: View the JBI archive metadata `jbi.xml` contents. Components: View components that require this Shared Library.
Custom MBeans	Custom MBeans	Manage custom MBeans that have been deployed to the server. Functions include deploy, undeploy, enable, and provides the name, implementation class name, and status of the deployed MBeans.
