Configure new URL providers using scripting

 

You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new URL providers. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to configure a new URL provider:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the node variable.

   Use Jacl:

   set node [$AdminConfig  getid  /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]
   

   • Use Jython:

     node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/') print node
     

   Example output:

   mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)
   

2. Identify the required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required URLProvider
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('URLProvider')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type streamHandlerClassName   String protocol       String name         String
   

3. Set up the required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   set name [list name URLP1] set shcn [list streamHandlerClassName "Put the stream handler classname here"] set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"] set urlpAttrs [list $name $shcn $protocol]
   

   Example output:

   {name URLP1} {streamHandlerClassName {Put the stream handler classname here}} 
   {protocol {Put the protocol here}}
   

   • Use Jython:

     name = ['name', 'URLP1'] shcn = ['streamHandlerClassName', "Put the stream handler classname here"] protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"] urlpAttrs = [name, shcn, protocol] print urlpAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[name, URLP1], [streamHandlerClassName, "Put the stream handler classname here"],  
     [protocol, "Put the protocol here"]]
     

4. Create a URL provider:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create URLProvider $node $urlpAttrs
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('URLProvider', node, urlpAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   URLP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URLProvider_1)
   

5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
