title: WLST Best Practices: Shell vs MBeans?
body: <p>Are there any admins out there who use WLST?</p>
  
  <p>On our project we are in the process of automating many of our day-to-day tasks such as deployments and domain settings. We're also building scripts that will create domains based on our baseline configurations, JDBC, JNDI, etc.</p>
  
  <p>One of the features offered through WLST is the navigation of MBeans through a shell-like interface. When it comes to making large scripts is this shell interface better or just calling the domain MBeans directly?</p>
  
  <p>Any other tips/best-practices/pitfalls for using WLST?</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody actually use it?</p>
