Funes: the E2E Web Services Box

2003.04.17 Funes On-Line as JBOSS Servlet Machine

Tomcat Servlet Management (2003.03.31)

We want to be able to call up a web page that lists the servlets running, and to restart the services without restarting the whole machine. We were able to sort-of do this on http://webtest.aoc.nrao.edu:8080/manager/html but never got the Apache integration working correctly.

JBOSS Management

We know that the silly JBoss server is running on Funes by visiting this URL:

JBOSS and the JMX architecture

It appears that I won't get anywhere with JBoss without understanding the JMX architecture; JMX stands for the "Java Management Extensions" and is the backbone of the JBoss Architecture:

Everything that you do in JBoss is dealt with by means of a "Management Bean", or "MBean".
