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.

Important: For standalone application server profiles (profiles which do not belong to a Network Deployment cell), you can use the administrative console to create generic servers and to adjust the settings for the generic server. However, you cannot use the administrative console to start, stop or otherwise control the server. Use the wsadmin tool for those types of operations.

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.
Important: You can use either the Terminate or Stop buttons in the administrative console to stop any application server, including a generic application server.
