Chapter 7. Console Pages
Once you have started the JBoss Enterprise Application Server, you can access the Welcome to JBoss EAP page. This page is located at http://localhost:8080/ (or http://127.0.0.1:8080/) unless you have configured the server to bind to a different port.
From this page you can use the provided links to navigate to various console pages which allow you to manage the server:
- Admin console
- JMX Console
- JBoss Web Console
- Tomcat status (full) (XML)
By default, the console pages are secured and prompt you for a username and password when you access them. If you installed JBoss Enterprise Application Platform using the graphical installer and you want to access the JMX console, you can use the username and password you provided during installation.
If you installed using other modes (such as .zip), refer to Section 5.1, “Security Configuration”.
7.1. Admin Console
The Admin Console was created using Seam. It provides a hierarchical view of the available Servers, Applications and Resources associated with a single server instance of JBoss. It is a very lightweight implementation that provides most of the core functionality required by a JBoss administrator.
While it is intended to be the primary interface for the application server, not all services can currently be managed using the Admin Console. The JMX Console remains active for these services.
The Admin Console allows you to start, stop or restart the server remotely. It also allows you to view deployed web applications and more.
The Admin console is described in detail in the Admin Console User Guide.
