Virtual hosts for web application bundles [Settings]
Each web application bundle (WAB) that is contained in a deployed asset must be mapped to a virtual host. WABs can be installed on the same virtual host, or dispersed among several virtual hosts.
To view this panel in the administrative console, click one of the following paths:
- Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > [Deployed assets] Add > Add Asset > asset_name > Wizard step: Map modules to virtual hosts
- Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > composition_unit_name > [Additional Properties] Virtual hosts
The Virtual hosts option is only visible if the application uses web application bundles.
You use a virtual host to associate a unique port with a web application. The aliases of a virtual host identify the port numbers defined for that virtual host. A port number specified in a virtual host alias is used in the URL used to access artifacts such as servlets and JavaServer Page (JSP) files in a web application. For example, the alias myhost:8080 is the host_name:port_number portion of the URL //publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/ ://myhost:8080/sample.
To check existing virtual hosts by , click Environment > Virtual hosts.
If you specify an existing virtual host in the ibm-web-bnd.xml or .xmi file for a given WAB, the specified virtual host is set by default. Otherwise, the default virtual host setting is default_host, which provides several port numbers through its aliases:
Unless to isolate your WAB from other WABs or resources on the same node, default_host is a suitable virtual host. In addition to default_host, WAS provides admin_host, which is the virtual host for the administrative console system application. admin_host is on port 9060. Its secure port is 9043. Do not select admin_host unless the WAB relates to system administration.

General Properties
Composite bundle identifier
This identifier is only displayed if the EBA asset uses composite bundles. Each composite bundle is identified by a string in the following form: Composite bundle archive (CBA)'composite.bundle.symbolic.name_composite.bundle.version'. Bundles that are part of a composite bundle are listed beneath the composite bundle identifier.
The symbolic name, together with the version, identifies a unique composite bundle.
Bundle symbolic name
The non-localizable name for this bundle.
Bundle version
The version of this bundle.
The bundle symbolic name, together with the bundle version, identifies a unique bundle.
Web module
The human-readable name for this web module.
Virtual host
The name of the virtual host to which the web application bundle is currently mapped.
To change a mapping, select a different virtual host from the list.
