The JBoss AS Administration Console is a SEAM-based web application for managing and monitoring a single JBoss AS instance. Known in the community as the open source project Embedded Jopr (pronounced "jopper"): Embedded because it runs inside a JBoss Application Server and Jopr because it uses the same infrastructure the Jopr project which is the open source enterprise management solution for JBoss middleware projects. The JBoss AS Administration Console (also referred to as Console in this guide) has been included in JBoss Application Server distributions since release 5.1.0. Successive releases continue to improve the server management capabilities eventually replacing the jmx- and web consoles.
