3.7. Restarting Server-Side Plug-in Containers
Each type of server-side plug-in is controlled by a corresponding plug-in container. Each plug-in container is controlled, in turn, by a master plug-in container. The plug-in containers load, start, and stop plug-ins.
As developers hot-deploy new server-side plug-ins, it can be useful to restart the plug-in container to check the plug-in performance. This is done by restarting the master plug-in container.
NOTE
All other actions with server-side plug-ins occur in the cloud. When a new plug-in is added, it is added to the entire cloud. Plug-in containers, however, perform their tasks locally. Restarting the plug-in containers, then, restarts the master plug-in container for whichever JBoss ON server is hosting the web interface (in essence, the server which is local to the command) — and it only restarts that master plug-in container.
- In the top menu, click the Administration tab.
- In the Configuration box on the left navigation bar, click the Server Plugins link.
- Scroll to the bottom of the table, and click the RESTART MASTER PLUGIN CONTAINER button.
- When the restart process is done (and assuming no problems were encountered), a success message is shown in the upper right corner.
