9.8. Methods Available to Proxy Resources

The ProxyFactory classes provide shortcuts for a lot of common resource management tasks, such as viewing monitoring data, running operations, or changing the resource or plug-in configuration. These methods are not in the regular API, but they can be used both by the JBoss ON CLI and by JBoss ON server-side scripts.
The shortcuts and methods available through ProxyFactory are different, depending on the resource type. Methods are only available if the resource type supports that functional area.
This section lists the three most common resource types:
TIP
Use tab-complete in the interactive CLI to find the specific methods available for a resource type or to get the method signatures for individual methods.
Using proxy resources is covered in Section 10.2, “Using Resource Proxies”.
