3.7. Restarting Server-Side Plug-in Containers

Each type of server-side plug-in is controlled by a corresponding plug-in container. Each plug-in container is controlled, in turn, by a master plug-in container. The plug-in containers load, start, and stop plug-ins.
As developers hot-deploy new server-side plug-ins, it can be useful to restart the plug-in container to check the plug-in performance. This is done by restarting the master plug-in container.
NOTE
All other actions with server-side plug-ins occur in the cloud. When a new plug-in is added, it is added to the entire cloud. Plug-in containers, however, perform their tasks locally. Restarting the plug-in containers, then, restarts the master plug-in container for whichever JBoss ON server is hosting the web interface (in essence, the server which is local to the command) — and it only restarts that master plug-in container.
  1. In the top menu, click the Administration tab.
  2. In the Configuration box on the left navigation bar, click the Server Plugins link.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the table, and click the RESTART MASTER PLUGIN CONTAINER button.
  4. When the restart process is done (and assuming no problems were encountered), a success message is shown in the upper right corner.
