The com.ibm.websphere.management.application.AppManagementProxy
class provides uniform access to application management functionality,
regardless of whether the functionality is accessed from the server
process, administrative client process, or a stand-alone Java™ program in the absence of WebSphere® Application
Server. You can use the code excerpts to learn how to obtain an AppManagementProxy
instance in a variety of cases.
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with WebSphere Application
Server programming interfaces and MBean programming. Read about WebSphere Application Server programming
interfaces and MBean programming in the application programming interfaces
documentation.
About this task
Perform any of the following tasks to access application
management functionality through programming.
Procedure
- To access application management functionality from WebSphere Application Server code, for
example, as a custom service, create the AppManagementProxy class.
AppManagement appMgmt =
AppManagementProxy.getJMXProxyForServer();
- To access application management functionality from outside WebSphere Application Server through the
AppManagement MBean, create an administrative client to establish
a connection to WebSphere Application Server and then create
the AppManagementProxy class.
AdminClient adminClient = ....
// create AppManagement proxy object
AppManagement appMgmt = AppManagementProxy.getJMXProxyForClient (adminClient);
- To access application management functionality when WebSphere Application Server is not running
(local mode), create the AppManagementProxy class.
AppManagement appMgmt = AppManagementProxy.getLocalProxy ();
- When running in local mode set the com.ibm.ws.management.standalone
system property to
true. If you want to modify configuration
documents in a non-default location, set the location of the configuration
directory through the was.repository.root system property.
- Although you can use application management functions with or
without WebSphere Application Server running, do
not access application management functions concurrently through local
mode and the AppManagement MBean. Otherwise, updates that are made
using these modes can collide and break the integrity of the WebSphere Application Server configuration.
Results
After you successfully create the AppManagementProxy class,
you have access to application management functionality.
What to do next
You can perform various management tasks such as installing,
uninstalling, editing, and so on.
