Enterprise Server Overview

Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server administration includes many tasks such as deploying applications, creating and configuring domains, server instances and resources; controlling (starting and stopping) domains and server instances, managing profiles and clusters, monitoring and managing performance, and diagnosing and troubleshooting problems.

Enterprise Server provides a Java EE compatible server for the development and deployment of Java EE applications and Java Web Services. Key features include scalable transaction management, container-managed persistence runtime, performant web services, clustering, high availability, security, and integration capabilities.

Enterprise Server Overview

You can configure and monitor Enterprise Server instances and clusters securely and remotely, from a web-based central administration console. The command line interface (CLI) can be used to script and automate processes. A stable JMX API is made available to programmatically monitor the server, query configuration and change configuration data. Monitoring is supported through JMX and SNMP interfaces. Monitoring level may be varied dynamically from OFF to LOW and high, changing the amount of information that is collected.

You can configure and optimize Enterprise Server for a particular type of use by specifying the appropriate profile when you create the application server domain.
