Managing the application server in the domain mode means, in a nutshell, controlling multiple servers from a centralized single point of control. The servers that are part of the domain can span across multiple machines (or even across the cloud) and they can be grouped with similar servers of the domain to share a common configuration. To make some rationale, we will break down the domain components into two main categories:
Physical components: These are the domain elements that can be identified with a Java process running on the operating system
Logical components: These are the domain elements that can span across several physical components
When you start the application server through the domain.sh script, you will be able to identify the following processes:
Host controller: Each domain installation contains a host controller. This is a Java process that is in charge of starting and stopping the servers that are defined within the
host...
