Is it possible to get the Websphere Admin Server Port number programmatically or by reading any XMLs?

Its not clear what you mean by "WebSphere Admin Server Port number." Do you mean the admin console HTTP transport port, the SOAP connector, etc? You also don't say whether you are using WAS ND or base, so I assume you are using base. With base, each application server has an admin console application. With ND, there is only one admin console in the DM server (dmgr).

All server endpoint addresses are stored in $WAS_HOME/config/cells/<your cell>/nodes/<node name>/serverindex.xml.

HTTP transport ports can be found in $WAS_HOME/config/cells/<your cell>/nodes/<node name>/servers/<server name>/server.xml. The HTTP HTTPTransport entry will have attribute sslEnabled="false", while the HTTPS HTTPTransport entry will have attribute sslEnabled="true".

There is no direct API to get a port, but you could use the WebSphere management classes to do so (the same classes the admin console and wsadmin program use). WebSphere javadoc can be browsed at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/javadoc/ae/index.html. You might also try searching developerworks http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/ for help.

Yes I need the 'admin console HTTP transport port'.

Using the websphere management API classes (ConfigService and ConfigServiceHelper) I have been able to get a list of HTTP transport ports. But from this list how can I determine which one of these is the admin console port ?

I need this for all kinds of installation (ND as well as base)

Thanks,
Vishal

I'm not sure how to do it from Java, but you might try examining the admin_host virtual host object. All web applications are associated with a virtual host and by default, the admin console is always associated with the admin_host. The virtual hosts (and their HTTP transports) are defined in the virtualhosts.xml configuration file at the cell level.
