Identify attributes and operations for running objects with the wsadmin tool

Use the Help object attributes or operations commands to find information on a running MBean in the server.

 

1. Invoke the AdminControl object commands interactively, in a script, or use the wsadmin -c tool from an operating system command prompt.

2. Specify a running object.

3. Use the attributes command to display the attributes of the running object:

   $Help attributes MBeanObjectName
   

   where:

   $Help	is the object that provides general help and information for running MBeans in the connected server process
   attributes	is a $Help command
   MBeanObjectName	is the string representation of the MBean object name obtained in step 2

   
   
   

4. Use the operations command to find out the operations supported by the MBean:

   $Help operations MBeanObjectname
   

   or

   $Help operations MBeanObjectname operationName
   

   where:

   $Help	is the object that provides general help and information for running MBeans in the connected server process
   operations	is a $Help command
   MBeanObjectname	is the string representation of the MBean object name obtained in step number 2
   operationName	(optional) is the specified operation for which you want to obtain detailed information

   
   
   If you do not provide the operationName , all operations supported by the MBean return with the signature for each operation. If you specify operationName , only the operation that you specify returns and it contains details which include the input parameters and the return value. To display the operations for the server MBean:

   set server [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=Server,name=servername,*]
   $Help operations $serv
   

   To display detailed information about the stop operation, use the following example:

   $Help operations $server stop
