Windows
Help: Displays help information.
About: Displays About window.
This menu is for all modules of SuperComponents. The number of sub-menus varies from installation to installation. Usually the following sub-menus are available:
Menu items under this menu are different from server (vendor) to server. You may see more or few menu items. The whole menu may or may not be shown for a particular installation.
Deployment
JNDI Tree: Displays Jndi Tree Panel from the application server.
Preference: Displays Preference Panel.
Properties: Displays Properties Panel.
Show Output: Displays Output Panel to show information that would be printed on your regular STDERR and STDOUT. Note: if STDERR and STDOUT are not redirected, this menu item will be hidden.
Proxy: Displays Proxy Panel.
Install License: Installs both library license and SuperComponent license.
Component Manager:Displays Component Manager Panel to install and uninstall both SuperComponent beans and foreign beans.
Exit: Exits Super with cleanup. It also saves hibernation information.
Quit: Exits Super with cleanup..
Window Menu
CascadeCascades all child windows.
Close All:Closes all child windows and re-numbers all new child windows from 1. The first new child window will be positioned on the top-left corner.
This panel allows you to select a calendar date. Select a day by clicking on it, then click on the Ok button.
This Panel allows you to install and uninstall both SuperComponent beans and foreign beans. They are components of Super, not components for server or container. Each SuperComponent is an application module. You can get them from Acelet or third parties. You can write your own SuperComponent as well.
Installed component list: This list shows all installed beans (regular Java Beans for Super, not for server, they are not Enterprise Java Beans). Envoy beans are not listed on this panel.
Install New: Displays a FileChooser window for you to choose a jar file for installation.
Uninstall: Uninstalls highlighted item.
Connect Panel
Server: The application server to connect to. It is disabled. The value is your choice when you installed Super.
Nickname: The server nickname is for the instance of server. This is for your convenience only.
URL: The provider URL. Super uses it to connect to the server. See JNDI properties for details. This URL is used to get InitialContext.
Login name: Your login name for the server. Super simply passes it to the server. Your server authenticates it, not Super.
Password: Your password for to server. Super simply passes it to the server. Your server authenticates it, not Super.
Remember login name and password: Check this box if you want your Login name and Password to be remembered by Super. This is to remember login name and password for this panel only. Other panels provide similar facilities. Note: the login name and password will be saved as plain text. Check this box if your computer is in a trusted environment.
Ok: Tries to connect to the server and closes this panel, if the connection is successful.
Cancel: Closes the window without doing anything.
Both Nickname and URL are automatically saved for future use, if the connection is a successful one.
Note (advance topic): When the Connect Panel connects to the server, it tries to read a JNDI properties file under the current working directory (AceletSuper as default). all properties specified in this file will be used to connect the server. See JNDI properties for details.
URL value:
Weblogic: If you connect to a cluster, you can specify cluster-wide URL. For example:
- If your cluster uses the same port on different machine: t3://acme1,acme2,acme3:7001
- If your cluster uses different ports: t3://node1:7001,node2:7002,node3:7003
User credential:
Jboss: The default login name and password are: empty login name and passwordJonas: The default login name and password are: empty login name and password.
Universal: See Universal Envoy for more information.
Weblogic: The default login name and password are: login name: weblogic; password: the password you provided for Weblogic application server. If you connect to a cluster and the cluster is explicitly set to use Administration port, please see User credentials and administration port for details.
Websphere: The default login name and password are: empty login name and password.
ConnectionPlugin interface allows you to set extra things for your connection. The majority of users do not need this interface.
You need this interface if you have added something on top of your server or you have modified your server. For example, if you implement your own SSL on top of your server, you can set necessary things using this interface to match your server's setting.
Super will call this interface before connecting to the server.
You must add an entry in super.properties under the working directory, which is Super Home (the installed directory for Super, default is AceletSuper). The property name is (case sensitive): connectionPlugin. Example:
connectionPlugin=com.xyz.abc.MyOwnSslImplementation
You must put your implementation class on the CLASSPATH.
See com.acelet.s.ConnectionPlugin
for details.
This panel allows you to install license for components of Super. See Install License for detailed information.
License file name: The full name of the license file.
Browse: Opens a FileChooser to choose the license file.
This panel shows all available JNDI names as a tree. You can expand or collapse the whole tree or its branches.
The JNDI names listed here are all objects available for your user credential. JNDI names are followed by the class name of the object in parentheses, or square bracket if the class is not Serializable. The list is a snapshot at the time it opens. It is not dynamically updated.
Note: You may see some of your EJBs on the tree, but not on JNDI list of Peek Panel or Poke Panel of EasyEJB. In that case, most likely, your EJB's stubs are not on the CLASSPATH. This panel tries to find all JNDI names without touch the corresponding objects, so even there is no stub, the name still can be listed here. But on Peek Panel or Poke Panel, EasyEJB needs to inspect the object which JNDI name points to. If the stub is not available, errors may occur, so the name can not be listed on the JNDI list there. See EJB stubs are needed for related information.
This panel shows a list of items. The list can be maintained by clicking the following buttons:
Add: Adds an item into the list.
Edit: Edits the highlighted item in the list.
Delete: Deletes the highlighted item. A confirmation window will pop up before deleting.
Ok: Selects the highlighted item and closes this panel.
Cancel: Cancels this panel.
This panel allows you to specify email server information, so the email server will be available for SuperComponents and modules. Not every SuperComponent uses it. Known use cases are:
PostMaster: The postmaster's email address. This is a required attribute. This is the From address when Super sends alarm emails.
Alert email: It is the recipient's email addresses as the "To" address . This is the email address for sending an alert message to when database errors occur. It can be more than one email address, separated by commas. If this email address is not set, the request for the alert email will be ignored.
Mail host: The machine name of your mail server. If you are not sure of the name of your mail server, ask your system administrator. This is the outgoing email server machine name (SMTP).
Email server requires authentication: Check it if your email server requires authentication.
Mail host user name: The user name for your email server. This is visible if Email server requires authentication is checked.
Mail host password: The password for your email server. This is visible if Email server requires authentication is checked.
This panel is the base panel for some list panel.
Detail: Displays a criterion panel for the selected criterion.
Delete: Deletes selected criterion.
Add: Adds new criterion.
Close: Closes this panel and remember the layout and size of this panel, so next time this panel will be in the layout and size remembered.
This panel shows all menu commands as a tree. You can expand or collapse the whole tree or its branches. All menu commands are leaves of the tree. Clicking on a leave is the same as you click on its corresponding menu command. See Menu Commands for details.
This panel shows the information which would be printed on your regular STDERR and STDOUT.
The information here is a snapshot information at the time you open it. It will not be dynamically refreshed.
The information is stored in a file
<super-home>/output.txt (Unix)<super-home>/output.txt (Windows)
Note: output.txt will be over-written each time Super starts.
Note: If you modify the script which starts Super, output.txt may or may not be available. If it is not available, the information will show on your screen and not be redirected. In that case, this panel is not available and the menu item will be hidden.
Wrap: Sets the wrap flag. If it is checked, all lines are wrapped by a character boundary, otherwise, there is no wrap.
Close: Closes this panel.
How to access this panel: From the main menu > System > Show Output.
This panel allows you to specify a time period.
You need to specify two parts: From and To.
Year: Four digits year.
Month: The month.
Day: The day.
Calendar: Opens a GUI calendar window for choosing a date.
Hour: The hour on 24 hour clock.
Minute: The minute.
Note: if you empty all input fields for From, the default value will be January 1, 1970. This default value will not show on related fields.
Note: if you empty all input fields for To, the default value will be "for ever". This default value will not show on related fields.
This panel allows you to specify your preference. You may or may not see all of the following GUI components.
Look & Feel: Look and feel for GUI components. The item in this box are installed Look and feel.
Show menu tree: Check this if you want the Menu Tree Panel to open.
Auto login: Check this if you want automatically login. Note 1: Remember login name and password on Connect Panel must be checked, so login name and password are available for automatically login. Note 2: If, by any reason, the automatically login fails, the Connect Panel will stay open for your manually login.
Number of archive output file: Number of output files should be kept. Output files are generated each time Super runs. It contains some runtime information, mainly for debug purpose. If the existing output files are more than this value, the old ones will be deleted automatically each time Super runs.
This panel allows you to view the System Properties. They contains:
This is a read only panel.
Property Panel
This panel allows you to add or edit a property.
Name: The name of the property.
Value: The value of the property.
Ok: Keeps the information and closes this panel.
Cancel: Closes this panel without doing anything.
This panel allows you to specify proxy information for HTTP protocol mode. Some facilities of native protocol mode may this information, for example, the URL job of SuperScheduler may need proxy information, if your network requires so. In other words, if the facilities access Servlet/JSP and your network requires proxy, you need to specify proxy information. For those facilities which do not access Servlet/JSP, the information here is ignored.
Use proxy: Check it if you use proxy to connect to application server.
Proxy host: The machine name on which the proxy runs.
Proxy port: The port number of the proxy.
Proxy server requires authentication: Check it if your server requires authentication.
Proxy user name: The user name of the proxy.
Proxy password: The password for the user of the proxy.
Save: Saves proxy information. Note: When you input password, it does not show literally. When you save it, it will be saved as plain text. If you have security concerns, you can leave the Proxy Password empty when you save these parameters. Of course, in that case, you need to come to this panel again each time you use Super.
Ok: Keeps proxy information in memory and close this panel without saving the proxy parameters.
Cancel: Closes this panel without doing anything.
This is the main panel. It is a JSplitPane. The left side is the Menu Tree Panel which shows the whole picture of menu commands. The right side is the Super Pane which is the main display area. You can resize the two parts by moving the dividing line. There are two small buttons at the top of the dividing line. They are left and right arrows. They are for one touch expand: click on the left arrow button to close the Menu Tree Panel; click on the right arrow button to open the Menu Tree Panel.
This panel is a common panel used by many panels. Many actual panels there are extended panels from it, such as EJB panel and Context Panel.
The header of the table panel is a row of buttons. You can:
See Set preferred layout for detailed information.
This is for Lite version of Super or its components. It is similar to Connect Panel.
See Platform Specific Windows for detailed information.
This panel allows you to perform deployment tasks.

Ok: Performs the deployment task and closes this panel.
Weblogic 8.1 Deployment Parameter Panel
This panel is for deployment of applications for Weblogic 8.1 server. The underlying facility is Weblogic's weblogic.Deployer. The information here are to the best of our knowledge. Please see documents of Weblogic for details.
Action: The action for this deployment. The choices are:
-start does not
redistribute deployment files to target servers; the files must already be
available via an earlier -deploy
or -distribute action.-start,
-deploy, -redeploy,
or -undeploy actions.SSL Arguments: The SSL arguments. Note: If you connect to a cluster which uses administration port, you need to specify this argument. For example, the default setting is: -Dweblogic.security.TrustKeyStore=DemoTrust
Admin URL: The URL of the Administration Server. Default is http://localhost:7001. This URL is the target URL for deployment. It is nothing to do with the URL on the Connection Panel.
Alternate J2EE deployment descriptor: The name of an alternate J2EE
deployment descriptor (application.xml)
to use for deployment.
Alternate WebLogic Server deployment descriptor: The name of an
alternate WebLogic Server deployment descriptor (weblogic-application.xml)
to use for deployment.
Application name: The deployment name for the application or standalone module. This can be the name of an existing, configured application or the name to use when creating a new configuration.
Files: The archive file for deploy, redeploy or undeploy.
Password: The password of the Administrator user.
Source: The location of the archive file or exploded archive directory to deploy.
Source paths for: The source paths for source files. This is equivalent
"-remote" option. This indicates that weblogic.Deployer
is not running on the same machine as the Administration Server, and that
source paths specified in the command are valid for the Administration Server
machine itself. If you do not use the -remote
option, weblogic.Deployer assumes
that all source paths are valid paths on the local machine.
Staging: The way to deploy. There are three choices:
nostage is the default when you
deploy to the Administration Server (for example, in a single-server
domain). Does not copy the deployment files to target servers; instead,
deploys them from the fixed location specified using the -source
option.stage is used as
the default when deploying to Managed Server targets. Copies deployment
files to target servers' staging directories before deployment.
external_ostage
does not
copy the deployment files to target servers; instead, you must ensure that
deployment files have been copied to the correct subdirectory in the target
servers' staging directories before deployment. You can manually copy the
files or use a third-party tool or script.
Target servers: A comma-separated list of the target servers and/or cluster names (<server1>,<cluster1>,...). Each target may be qualified with a J2EE module name (<module1>@<server1>). This enables different modules of the archive to be deployed on different servers. For an application that is currently deployed, -targets defaults to all current targets. For an application that you are deploying for the first time, -targets defaults to the Administration Server.
User config file: The location of a user configuration file to use
for the administrative username and password. Use this option, instead of the -user
and -password options, in automated
scripts or in situations where you do not want to have the password shown
on-screen or in process-level utilities such as ps.
User key file: The location of a user key file to use for encrypting
and decrypting the username and password information stored in a user
configuration file (the -userconfigfile
option).
User name: The Administrator username.
Browse: Opens a FileChooser Window for you to choose a file for the left side field.
Note: The parameters are required from underlying facilities (application server's). Many of them are optional. See document of application server for details.
Weblogic 8.1 Server Shutdown Panel
This panel allows you to issue server shutdown command.
It is very similar with Weblogic 8.1 Server Shutdown Parameter Panel.
Ok: Issues server shutdown command and closed this panel.
Weblogic 8.1 Server Shutdown Parameter Panel
This panel is for shutdown of Weblogic 8.1 application server. The underlying facility is Weblogic's weblogic.Admin. The information here are to the best of our knowledge. Please see documents of Weblogic for details.
SSL Arguments: The SSL arguments. Note: If you connect to a cluster which uses administration port, you need to specify this argument. For example, the default setting is: -Dweblogic.security.TrustKeyStore=DemoTrust
URL: The listen address and listen port of the server instance that runs the command. In most cases, you should specify the Administration Server's address and port, which is the central management point for all servers in a domain. If you connect to a cluster which uses administration port, you need to use t3s protocol. For example: t3s://hp:9002
Target server: The name of the server to be shutdown. If this field is empty, the server specified by the URL will be the target server.
ignoreExistingSessions: Causes a graceful shutdown operation to drop
all HTTP sessions immediately. If you do not specify this option, the command
refers to the Ignore Sessions During Shutdown setting for the server in the
domain's config.xml file.
Timeout: The number of seconds subsystems have to complete in-flight work and suspend themselves.
Password: The password of the Administrator user.
User name: The Administrator username.
Note: The parameters are required from underlying facilities (application server's). Many of them are optional. See document of application server for details.
This panel allows you to perform deployment tasks.
It is very similar with Websphere 5 Deployment Parameter Panel.
Ok: Performs the deployment task and closes this panel.
Websphere 5 Deployment Parameter Panel
This panel is for deployment of applications for Websphere 5 server. The underlying facility is Websphere's wsadmin. The information here are to the best of our knowledge. Please see documents of Websphere for details.
