Getting admin console snapshot

Question

Hi,
We're trying to generate a snapshot of our application when we shut it down. The Weblogic Admin console allows us to get the number of bean in memory, the number cached, etc. for all session and entity beans. The problem with this approach is that it requires manual intervention to navigate the admin applet and get all the information.
I believe I can script this with the weblogic.Admin API but by looking at the docs, I'm not really sure how to go about it. I basically want information on all entuty and stateless session beans being used at the time a shutdown is requested.
How would I go about scripting the retrieval of this information?
Thanks,
L

You could use the WLSHELL utility. It will make your job alot easier.

Well, yes I could, but isn't that kind of rewriting the console? In theadmin docs, I see this:
>
In addition to the Web-based Administration Console, WebLogic Serverprovides a
command-line utility for accessing configuration and monitoring attributesof
domain resources. This tool is provided for those who want to createscripts to
automate system management
which is pretty much what I'm trying to achieve. I'd rather reuse existingstuff
rather than write my own. It's just that the docs are flaky on thesubject.

I'm going thru the JMX docs to see if I can figure out how to access thestate of all
my beans with he command-line tool; if not,
then I guess I'll roll my own.
Thanks for the pointer,
