4.4.3 Starting an appserver
How you start an appserver depends largely on personal preference and on whether the appserver is stand-alone or managed. Keep in mind that the appserver created by an appserver profile is always called server1. Multiple servers federated in this way are all named server1, but reside on different nodes.
Table 4-6 shows the various methods use to start an appserver.
