Accessing WebSphere API (Admin Console / Wsadmin)

Question

Let's say I am writing a software that needs accesing to WebSphere API - retriving the cell name, the server names etc. - information I can get from the Admin Console - Is there a way (using http, web is perfered) to get the exact information I am looking for?

That is, an AdminConsole for programs to read? I know that there is the wsadmin, but I don't know if it can be accessed as if it were a server. If so, how?

Thank you.

Answer 1

基本上，您在管理控制台中看到的所有功能（或可以通过wsadmin访问的功能）都由MBean公开，并且可以使用JMX调用。

Answer 2

1. wsadmin is a tool which is bundled with WAS and it allows everything you asked for. It can be used to administrate remote WAS, and it can be run as standalone program without WAS.

2. WAS has JMX interface for managed beans. Through it you can inspect configuration and administrate all AdminControl options given by wasdmin and even more.
