This section describes how to develop a Java program for accessing
the WebSphere Application Server administrative system by using the WebSphere
Application Server administrative application programming interfaces (APIs).
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with Java Management Extensions
(JMX) API programming. For information on the Java APIs, view the application
programming interfaces documentation.
About this task
When you develop and run administrative clients that use various
JMX connectors and that have security enabled, use the following guidelines.
When you follow these guidelines, you guarantee the behavior among different
implementations of JMX connectors. Any programming model that strays from
these guidelines is unsupported.
- Create and use a single administrative client before you create and use
another administrative client.
- Create and use an administrative client on the same thread.
- Use one of the following ways to specify a user ID and password to create
a new administrative client:
- Specify a default user ID and password in the property file.
- Specify a user ID and password other than the default. Once you create
an administrative client with a nondefault user ID and password, specify the
nondefault user ID and password when you create subsequent administrative
clients.
Procedure
- Develop an administrative
client program.
-
Build and run the administrative client program.
The steps
required to build and run your program depends on the kind of application
environment your code runs.
Refer to Using application clients for details on how to build and run your administrative
client program.
