Creating generic servers

A generic server is a server that is managed in the WebSphere administrative domain, although it is not a server that is supplied by WebSphere Application Server. The WebSphere Application Server generic servers function enables you to define a generic server as an application server instance within the WebSphere Application Server administration, and associate it with a non-WebSphere server or process.

About this task

There are two basic types of generic application servers:
  • Non-Java applications or processes.
  • Java applications or processes
Therefore, a generic server can be any server or process that is necessary to support the Application Server environment, including:
  • A Java server
  • A C or C++ server or process
  • A CORBA server
  • A Remote Method Invocation (RMI) server

You can use the wsadmin tool or the administrative console to create a generic server.

Procedure

Results

After you define a generic server, use the Application Server administrative console to start, stop, and monitor the associated non-WebSphere Application Server server or process when stopping or starting the applications that rely on them.
