Are workmanagers visible in the jndi tree viewer?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to setup a workmanager, and I'm having a few problems, but I'm just wondering if I'm falling at the first hurdle. I've tried creating workmanagers at the global and application level, but looking in the admin console for my server they never show up in the jndi tree viewer. Should I expect to see my workmanager there? If I look in the deployment then I do see that the workmanager exists, alongside default.
Thanks.

If you create a workmanager at the application level, you'll see the work manager in the console under Deployments -> your app -> Monitoring ->Workload.
If you create a workmanager at the domain / server level and reference it within your app's deployment descriptors ( wl-dispatch-policy ), you can look under Servers ->your app's targeted server -> Deployments -> your app -> Monitoring -> Workload. In this case, you'll see all the workmanagers targeted to that server, but you can confirm your app's usage of the correct wm by submitting a request to your app and seeing an increase in the completed requests column of the display.
A work manager configured at the domain / server level doesn't have a JNDI name attribute that you enter. You just use the same workmanager name in your deployment descriptor <wl-dispatch-policy>someWM</wl-dispatch-policy>.
The handling of stuck threads seems to be a trouble point for application defined workmanagers, so we've decided to stick with individual server level work managers for each app.
