6.6.0.1.7: The Topology and Type trees
Using the console View menu, the administrator can toggle the Java console navigation area between
two tree views for managing resources.
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 |
Click an instance |
Display its properties (settings) on the right side of the console |
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:
Information |
Details |
Configurable kinds of items in the administrative
domain, and how many of each kind already exist |
For example, the tab contains folders labeled "Application Servers".
When the administrator clicks the Application Server folder, a table listing information
about the existing application servers is displayed on the right side of
the console. |
The default properties for each type of resource |
The administrator can use the Type tree to configure default properties
for applications, servlets and other resource types. When resources are created,
these instances will inherit the default properties. |
The relationships among resource types in the administrative domain |
The resource types are displayed according to their hierarchical, parent-child
relationships. |
