Chapter 1. Introduction to the Admin Console
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Admin Console is a browser-based management tool for the applications and resources of a JBoss Enterprise Application Platform instance. Read this guide for an overview of Admin Console features; descriptions of administrative tasks; and procedures to perform those tasks.
This release of the Admin Console provides the following administrative features:
- Services Binding Manager configuration, management and control
- Enterprise Application Platform instance information
- Application configuration, management and control for:
- Java EE Enterprise Applications (EARs)
- Web Applications (WARs)
- Resource Adapters (RARs)
- Enterprise JavaBean 2 and 3 (EJBs)
- Resource configuration, management and control for:
- data sources
- connection factories
- JMS queues and topics (based on JBoss Messaging)
The Admin Console provided with Enterprise Application Platform retains the JMX and web consoles. It is included in the
production
, all
, web
and default
profiles. It has also been tested with the standard
server profile. Copy admin-console.war
from JBOSS_HOME/server/production/deploy
to the JBOSS_HOME/server/standard/deploy
directory to use the Admin Console with the standard
profile.
Note
The Admin Console is not intended for use with the
minimal
configuration provided with the distribution. Custom configurations based on this configuration should not be used with the Admin Console, either.
