Websphere Application Server Administration Using Jython

Save Time and Money: Streamline WebSphere Application Server Management with Jython Scripting! Utilizing Jython scripting, you can dramatically reduce the effort, resources, and expense associated with managing WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server Administration Using Jython will show you how. The first start-to-finish guide to Jython scripting for WebSphere administration, this book’s practical techniques and downloadable scripts can help you improve efficiency, repeatability, and automation in any WebSphere environment. This book’s expert authors begin with practical introductions to both WebSphere Application Server administration and Jython, today’s powerful, Java implementation of Python. Next, they cover a broad spectrum of WebSphere management tasks and techniques, presenting real, easy-to-adapt solutions for everything from server configuration and security to database management. These are powerful solutions you can begin using immediately–whether you’re running WebSphere in production, development, or test environments. Coverage includes Mastering the Jython rules, characteristics, and properties that are most valuable in WebSphere scripting Viewing and manipulating WebSphere configuration and run-time details Making the most of the wsadmin scripting engine and objects–including rarely-used wsadmin parameters that can simplify administration Adjusting wsadmin properties to reflect your needs and environment Using the AdminApp scripting object to list, view, install, uninstall, and modify AppServer applications Using the AdminTask object to manipulate WebSphere Application Server at a high level Configuring the WebSphere Application Server with AdminConfig Manipulating active AppServer objects (MBeans) with AdminControl Controlling security, including aliases, roles, administrative and application security, and multiple security domains

This book shows you how to use Swing to add a GUI to your Jython scripts, with an emphasis on the WebSphere Application Server wsadmin utility. In fact, we're going to teach you Swing using Jython, and we're going to do it in a way that, hopefully, that makes your scripts easier for people to use, more robust, more understandable, and therefore easier to maintain.

Jython is an open source implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented scripting language Python seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. The predecessor to Jython, JPython, is certified as 100% Pure Java. Jython is freely available for both commercial and noncommercial use and is distributed with source code. Jython is complementary to Java. The Definitive Guide to Jython, written by the official Jython team leads, covers Jython 2.5 (or 2.5.x)—from the basics to more advanced features. This book begins with a brief introduction to the language and then journeys through Jython’s different features and uses. The Definitive Guide to Jython is organized for beginners as well as advanced users of the language. The book provides a general overview of the Jython language itself, but it also includes intermediate and advanced topics regarding database, web, and graphical user interface (GUI) applications; Web services/SOA; and integration, concurrency, and parallelism, to name a few.
