Getting Server State
There are multiple methods of accessing the state of a server instance:

" The Servers table on the Servers page displays the current state of each
server instance in the current domain.
" The Server→Monitoring tab displays the state of the current server instance,
and the date and time it entered the state.
" The log file for a server, available from the Server Log command on all
Server tabs, includes timestamped messages for state transitions that have
occurred since the server instance was last started.
! Programmatically—You can obtain the state of a server instance
programmatically, using the
getState () method on the server’s
weblogic.management.runtime.ServerRuntimeMBean.Formore

Management Services with JMX.
