# Administration

EMS provides mechanisms for administering server operations and creating objects that are managed by the server, such as ConnectionFactories and Destinations.

Administration functions can be issued either using the command-line administration tool or by creating an application that uses the administration API (either Java or .NET). The command-line administration tool is described in EMS Administration Tool. The administration APIs are described in the online documentation.

The administration interfaces allow you to create and manage administered objects such as ConnectionFactories, Topics, and Queues. EMS clients can retrieve references to these administered objects by using Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). Creating static administered objects allows clients to use these objects without having to implement the objects within the client.
