WSAS

The WSO2 WSAS Management Console allows the user to manage and monitor Web services as well as the deployment environment. In addition, it comes with a set of easy to use tools.

Once WSAS is started up, you can access the management console by pointing your Web browser to http://localhost:9443/. Click the "Sign In" link at the top right corner and enter the username/password admin/admin. You can even try the WSAS demo at http://tools.wso2.org/public1/ which will enable you to try things out without downloading WSAS.

Here are some screen shots off the WSAS Management Console of WSO2 WSAS version 2.2.
