You can create representations of servers that run other
middleware software and then manage the servers.
Middleware servers encompass all servers in the middleware tier
that provide the infrastructure for applications or their data. The
steps vary depending on if you are configuring assisted lifecycle
management middleware servers or complete lifecycle management middleware
servers.
With assisted lifecycle servers, you use templates to create representations
of the servers. However, these servers still exist within the administrative
domain of their respective middleware platform.
The following server types are supported with assisted lifecycle
middleware server support through the administrative console and
wsadmin scripting.
You can control the servers operationally, monitor, and view server
health and performance, and configure the administrative console to
display log files and configuration files for these servers.
- Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3, Version 2.0, and Version 2.2
- Apache Geronimo Version 1.0 and Version 1.1
- WebSphere® Application
Server Community Edition
The following server types are supported with assisted lifecycle
middleware server support through
wsadmin scripting.
- Apache Tomcat Version 4.1.x, Version 5.0.x, Version 5.5.x, Version
6.0
- JBoss Version 4.0.x
- BEA WebLogic Server Version 8.x, Version 9.x, Version 10.x
- External WebSphere application
servers Version 5.1 and later
Complete lifecycle servers include any servers that the environment
can instantiate or create. You can control the servers operationally,
deploy applications, and monitor and view server health and performance.
The following server types are supported with complete lifecycle middleware
server support through the administrative console and wsadmin scripting:
- WebSphere Application
Server Community Edition Version 2.x,
Version 3.x
- PHP Version 4.x and Version 5.x
To support any other server that supports HTTP traffic, you can
create a custom HTTP server representation of the server in the administrative
console.
