Using wlshell

Examples

wlshell can be used in many applications. Here are some examples:

  • Administration of Java applications through JMX MBeans, including configuration and monitoring.
  • Automation of management task by creating wlshell scripts.
  • Remote management of applications, using wlshell as the management client or using a standard TELNET client.
  • Provide a Command Line Interface (CLI) to applications. Application functionality can be surfaced via MBeans and made available to end users through wlshell.
  • When using the TELNET adaptor, a standard TELNET client is all what is required to access the managed application. Most of the Operating Systems include a TELNET client, so users can access the application from any platform without installing any additional client software.

Specifically for BEA WebLogic Server, wlshell is being used by administrators and developers. It supports versions 6 through 10. The scripts catalog provides some usage examples.
