以编程方式管理Glassfish域

Question

I need to start, stop, set options on, etc. a glassfish domain in a programmatic way. The only resource I necessarily have available is asadmin . Hence I can

$ asadmin  list-domains
Foo running
domain1 not running
Command list-domains executed successfully.

However, I can't see any way to actually tell asadmin how to talk to a domain other than the default domain, Foo in this case. To do so I need to know the port of Foo 's administration server, and there doesn't seem to be any way to get that information. I could theoretically parse Foo 's domain.xml , but to do that I need to know where it is.

Ideally there'd be an asadmin option like --domain Foo , or at least a way to get Foo 's port or directory, but I can't seem to find anything along those lines.

Advice appreciated...

$ asadmin version
Version string could not be obtained from Server [localhost:4848] for some reason.
(Turn debugging on e.g. by setting AS_DEBUG=true in your environment, to see the details).
Using locally retrieved version string from version class.
Version = GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2.2 (build 5)
Command version executed successfully.

UPDATE: For now I'm using the filthy hack of determining the location of domain.xml via which asadmin and chopping up the path. Then I parse the xml and extract the port. This is a terrible solution, so I'm leaving the question open to see if there's anything better.

Most of the asadmin commands have the target option which is nearly the same as you want.

For example the command list-javamail-resources has the following syntax: list-javamail-resources [--help] [target]

with the following operands:

    target

    This operand specifies the target for which the JavaMail session 
    resources are to be listed. Valid values are:

    server
    Lists the resources for the default server instance. This is the default.

    domain
    Lists the resources for the domain.

    cluster_name
    Lists the resources for the specified cluster.

    instance_name
    Lists the resources for a particular server instance.

For a detailed overview of command operands and parameters see the oracle documentation .
