Listing attributes of configuration objects using the wsadmin tool

You can use scripting to generate a list of attributes of configuration objects. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Overview

Perform the following steps to create a list of attributes of configuration objects:

Procedure

List the attributes of a given configuration object type, using the attributes command...

Using Jacl:

$AdminConfig attributes type

Using Jython:
```
AdminConfig.attributes('type')
```

where:

$ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
AdminConfig is an object that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
attributes is an AdminConfig command
type is an object type

This command returns a list of attributes and its data type.

To get a list of attributes for the JDBCProvider type, use the following example command:

Using Jacl:

$AdminConfig attributes JDBCProvider

Using Jython:
```
AdminConfig.attributes('JDBCProvider')
```

List the required attributes of a given configuration object type, using the required command...

Using Jacl:

$AdminConfig required type

Using Jython:
```
AdminConfig.required('type')
```

where:

$ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
AdminConfig is an object that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
required is an AdminConfig command
type is an object type

This command returns a list of required attributes.

To get a list of required attributes for the JDBCProvider type, use the following example command:

Using Jacl:

$AdminConfig required JDBCProvider

Using Jython:
```
AdminConfig.required('JDBCProvider')
```

List attributes with defaults of a given configuration object type, using the defaults command...

Using Jacl:

$AdminConfig defaults type

Using Jython:
```
AdminConfig.defaults('type')
```

where:

$ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
AdminConfig is an object that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
defaults is an AdminConfig command
type is an object type

This command returns a list of all the attributes, types, and defaults.

To get a list of attributes with the defaults displayed for the JDBCProvider type, use the following example command:

Using Jacl:

$AdminConfig defaults JDBCProvider

Using Jython:
```
AdminConfig.defaults('JDBCProvider')
```

}
