Overview of this book

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) has been one of the most popular tools for Java developers to create modular, cloud-ready, and modern applications. It has achieved a reputation for architectural excellence and technical savvy, making it a solid and efficient environment for delivering your applications. The book will first introduce application server configuration and the management instruments that can be used to control the application server. Next, the focus will shift to enterprise solutions such as clustering, load balancing, and data caching; this will be the core of the book. We will also discuss services provided by the application server, such as database connectivity and logging. We focus on real-world example configurations and how to avoid common mistakes. Finally, we will implement the knowledge gained so far in terms of Docker containers and cloud availability using RedHat's OpenShift.

Chapter 2. The CLI Management Tool

In this chapter, we will describe the Command Line Interface ( CLI ) management tool, which can and should be used to control your entire application server, that is, the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (also JBoss or just EAP).

The application server itself comes with two different management tools: the CLI and the admin console (also called the web console). The latter lets you manage the platform mostly at high-level operations, such as starting, stopping, and restarting JBoss instances, and configuring datasources. Thus, the web console is best for viewing the overall configuration and server instances topology (especially when dealing with the domain mode).

On the other hand, CLI is the best tool to manage your application server in depth, as per its features, your deployments, and JVM settings.

A deep knowledge of the CLI gives you full control over your platform. Despite the management aspect of the CLI, you should concentrate on some...
