The Topology tree displays all managed nodes in the administrative domain. For each node, this tree displays a hierarchy of existing resources associated with the node. The administrator can:

Action Result

Right-click an instance Display a pop-up menu for performing common actions, such as starting, stopping, pinging, and deleting the resource

The Type tree displays a hierarchical or tree view of the potential resources that can exist on a node in the administrative domain. Each resource type, such as a Servlet or an Application Server, is represented by a folder icon. The Type tree shows the administrator:
