JBoss ESB, admin-console or web-console?

[hongan]

Hello friends,

I have an innocent question. Does the admin-console and web-console do the same function? I would like to learn to manage services of JBoss ESB framework and related things. Because I'm using JBoss ESB Server instead of JBoss AS, so that I can use only web-console (host:8080/web-console) instead of admin-console. It they are not equal, how do I can use admin-console with JBoss ESB Server?

And by the way, is there any document teach me to manage the services in an efficient way?

Thanks for any help.

Hi An,

admin-console is something only available on jboss-5.1.0.GA I believe.      The ESB server is great for testing out quickstarts, and great for development, but if you want to get to the level of managing services manually or programatically, I'd switch to 5.1.0.GA.

If you really want to do this on the ESB server, I believe it has the jmx-console which gives you access to the MBeans, but I'd really, really suggest moving to 5.1.0.GA.

Thanks Tom,

I'm moving to JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA. Now I can use admin-console, web-console, jmx-console. Trying to learn how to understand and use them efficiently.
