The wsadmin scripting interface is a useful interface for managing your WebSphere® configuration, particularly when you need to automate tasks or perform other custom management. However, using Java Management Extensions (JMX) extends this powerful solution even further, allowing administrative capability to be directly embedded in the functions of your J2EE application.
This article explains how a wsadmin script works, and how it can be easily rewritten as a servlet to accomplish the same task in JMX. We briefly discuss how WebSphere maintains its configuration information in XML files, and how equivalent JMX code can be used to accomplish what is done by way of wsadmin. Using IBM Rational Application Developer, the example demonstrates how JMX can provide a valuable solution in advanced custom administration for system integrators, independent service vendors, and application developers.
