I need to develop an application for managing WebSphere Application Server v7.0.0.11. I explored a bit and found out that we can use Mbeans. Actually I need to create something similar as Web-sphere's web console.
My problem is that the application should be in C# .net so is there any connector/Adapter to invoke web-sphere's management API. Please point me in right direction.
I am a C#.net developer and a total newbie in java/websphere, I tried creating Admin Client Example from IBM site by using packages found at IBM/Webshpere/Cimrepos directory. The name of Jar file is com.ibm.wplc.was_7.0.0.11.jar I unzipped that jar file in the same folder.
So now My App is starts, connects to websphere successfully and finds mbean on the nodeAgent. The problem I am facing in invoking mbean. I am getting following error message.
exception invoking launchProcess : javax.management.ReflectionExcetion: Target Method not found com.ibm.ws.management.nodeagent.NodeAgent.launchProcess
I am using following url for list of mbean
i tried using different methods from nodeAgent mbean but no joy , I am always getting same exception "method not found".
Following is the code snipped for invoking launchprocess
private void invokeLaunchProcess(String serverName)
{
// Use the launchProcess operation on the NodeAgent MBean to start
// the given server
String opName = "launchProcess";
String signature[] = { "java.lang.String" };
String params[] = { serverName };
boolean launched = false;
try
{
Boolean b = (Boolean)adminClient.invoke(nodeAgent, opName, params, null);
launched = b.booleanValue();
if (launched)
System.out.println(serverName + " was launched");
else
System.out.println(serverName + " was not launched");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception invoking launchProcess: " + e);
}
}
Full Code could be found on following link
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, do i need to include some other package ? I browsed com.ibm.wplc.was_7.0.0.11.jar, there isn't any folder named nodeagent in com\ibm\ws\managemnt. I found the same jar file in Appserver\runtimes library.
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks in Advance.
Getting Mbean
private void getNodeAgentMBean(String nodeName)
{
// Query for the ObjectName of the NodeAgent MBean on the given node
try
{
String query = "WebSphere:type=NodeAgent,node=" + nodeName + ",*";
ObjectName queryName = new ObjectName(query);
Set s = adminClient.queryNames(queryName, null);
if (!s.isEmpty())
nodeAgent = (ObjectName)s.iterator().next();
else
{
System.out.println("Node agent MBean was not found");
System.exit(-1);
}
}
catch (MalformedObjectNameException e)
{
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(-1);
}
catch (ConnectorException e)
{
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(-1);
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}
System.out.println("Found NodeAgent MBean for node " + nodeName);
}
