[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2262) Link to Console missing from Welcome page

[Darran Lofthouse (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12637483#comment-12637483 ] 

Darran Lofthouse commented on AS7-2262:
---------------------------------------

This is a deliberate design choice.

In stand alone mode the admin console and the JBoss Web container are running the same process so a link across is possible (Personally I think even that is bad)

In admin mode there is now no direct relationship between the JBoss Web containers and the process running the admin console, we can't even reliably a - detect if the user accessing JBoss Web can connect to the admin console or b - identify the address they should use.

Once users have moved to domain mode from standalone mode they should have enought understanding of the topology of their own set up to connect directly themselves.

> If I start up the app server(s) using "bin/domain.sh", I can open up the starting page @ localhost:8080/ but there is no link to open the console; only to examine the documentation.  The link to the Console is there when running standalone.sh.  See attached screenshots.
> Options are:  leave the link in there, but when clicked it will result in an error message instructing the user they need to pick which instance they want to examine.  Or, point it to localhost:9990/.
