About Application Server
Administration
To enable administrators to manage server instances and clusters running on multiple
hosts, Application Server provides these tools:
■
The Admin Console, a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI)
■
The asadmin utility, a command-line tool
■
Programmatic Java™ Management Extensions (JMX™) APIs
These tools connect to a server called the Domain Administration Server, a specially
designated Application Server instance that intermediates in all administrative tasks.
The Domain Administration Server (DAS) provides a single secure interface for
validating and executing administrative commands regardless of which interface is
used.
