Administration Tools

The primary administration tool available in the WebLogic Server is the Administration Console. Since it is a Web-enabled tool, the Administration Console allows location-independent managing of the WebLogic Server resources. You already studied in detail how to use the Administration Console in yesterday's session. Hence, the salient features of the administration tool will be only briefly discussed here.

Figure 19.9 shows the Administration Console, which can be used to perform the following tasks:

  • Configuring application domains Different application domains can be defined in the WebLogic Server using the Administration Console. A domain is a consolidated set of applications and resources required for the applications. The contents of a domain can be managed as a unit.

  • Managing Web applications Within an application domain, you can create Web applications composed of Java servlets or JSPs. The settings required to define the alias and mapping information for servlets and JSPs can be done using the Administration Console.

  • Managing Enterprise JavaBeans You can also configure and deploy EJBs in an application domain in the WebLogic Server using the Administration Console.

  • Configuring JDBC connection resources Information required for defining a JDBC connection and a connection pool can be defined through the Administration Console.

  • Configuring JMS queue resources Similarly to defining a JDBC connection pool, you can also define JMS queues and queue connection factories with the Administration Console.

  • Configuring J2EE Connection Architecture Resource Adapter resources The Administration Console can also be used to define the configuration parameters for resource adapters compliant with the J2EE Connection Architecture.

  • Configuring security for the WebLogic Server and applications deployed on the WebLogic Server An important aspect of application deployment is defining the security parameters. Parameters, like users, roles, and access rights, can be defined using the Administration Console.

  • Configuring Web Services The Administration Console tool also enables converting Web applications into Web Services.

  • Managing the WebLogic Servers in a cluster The Administration Console tool can also be used to manage application domains in different WebLogic Servers deployed in a cluster.

  • Monitoring performance of the WebLogic Server Finally, you can use the Administration Console to determine the performance of the WebLogic Server.
