Fabric3 provides both a RESTful management framework and access to runtime and application components via JMX.

The MRF

The RESTful management resource framework (MRF) exposes the domain, zones, runtimes, runtime components and application components as a hyperlink-based set of resources. The MRF also supports cluster change replication. This allows a resource modification (e.g. POST, PUT, or DELETE) to be made against a single URL and have it replicated to all runtimes in a zone. Since the MRF uses HTTP and JSON as its data format, it is possible to build powerful management applications for Fabric3 using a variety of technologies and programming languages.

JMX

Runtime configuration can also be accessed over JMX via a client such as JConsole.

More Information

Fabric3 supports annotations for exposing methods on components as management operations available using the MRF or via JMX. For more information, see Manageable Applications.
