This section describes how to develop a Java program
for accessing the WebSphere® Application Server administrative
system by using the product 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.
