  6. wsadmin

    Bob wrote this chapter. He discusses all of the options that wsadmin uses. Then Bob tells you what happens in each phase of wsadmin's execution. He discusses profile scripts and gives examples of things you can do with profile scripts. Bob also tells you how to trace wsadmin's execution. Here on the companion site, we have an article that describes a script library and another article that tells you how to install that library using a wsadmin profile script.

  7. Introduction to the Administrative Scripting Objects
  8. AdminConfig Object

    Bob wrote this chapter about WAS configuration. He offers lots of useful examples of things you can do with AdminConfig commands. On this site, we have added a series of articles that are cross referenced to the pages that Bob wrote. These articles provide even more insight into the workings of this low level configuration script object.

  9. AdminControl Object

    Bob wrote this chapter about controlling the runtime behavour of WAS. He explains MBeans and how they get their names. He shows several different ways to work directly with MBeans. On this site, we have a series of articles about MBeans and how to use them.

  12. Security

    in the main text of this chapter, Noel shows you how to use the AdminTask scripting object to create a JAAS alias, configure application security, and deal with multiple security domains and federated registries. Some of the material that Noel wrote for this chapter is hard to find anywhere else. Noel's discussion of multiple security domains is quite strong. In the process of writing this section, Noel discovered and documented an apparent product defect and provided a workaround. In the reference material at the end of the chapter, Kevin wrote a detailed description of each of the most common AdminTask security commands.

  14. Messaging

    Kevin wrote both the main text and the reference material for this chapter. This chapter is about using the AdminTask scripting object to manage messaging and to secure a messaging bus. Some of the material about bus security is very hard to find elsewhere. In particular, the sample code for implementing bus security is hard to find elsewhere. This article, part of our series on WebSphere Application Server architecture, gives an overview of the architecture of messaging and how messaging fits into WAS architecture in general.
