Remote JBoss Management

[muralikri_bng]

HI,

We have an application running on jboss3.2. Is there any way we can start and stop the application remotely. It would be appreciated if someone could give us the complete steps involved.

You can undeploy and deploy remotely
see the MainDeployer interface.

I don't think stop()/start() works correctly
on the EJB interface.

Not a very intuitive thing or something you'll find in the documentation (at least the free one):

- Go to the management console
This would be something like http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/index.jsp
- Under jboss.system, you'll find service=MainDeployer. Click on this option
- Figure out the exact url of the application to manage:
For this, find the method listDeployed() and Invoke it, this will list
all the deployed applications in that server.
- The rest should be easy, for instance to redeploy an application, just
find the redeploy() method and copy there the url as a parameter, then
invoke it.

I look forward to easier to use management tools or at least better documentation of the ones in place, in the meantime we'll keep hitting our heads against the wall and helping each other,

Just my two cents,
