Work with web module deployment properties files
We can use properties files to modify web module deployment properties. A web module must conform to Java EE specifications.
Determine the changes to make to your web module deployment configuration.
Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang Jython command from the bin directory of the server profile.
Use a properties file, you can modify a web module deployment object.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a web module deployment, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.
Actions for web module deployment properties files. We can modify web module deployment properties.
Action Procedure create Not applicable modify Edit the properties file and then run the applyConfigProperties command. delete Not applicable create Property Not applicable delete Property Not applicable Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Edit a web module deployment configuration.
For example, specify properties such as the following for a WebModuleDeployment instance:
# # Header # ResourceType=WebModuleDeployment ImplementingResourceType=Application ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:WebModuleDeployment= uri#myWebModule.war # # #Properties # startingWeight=10000 #integer,required,default(1) deploymentId=1 #required classloaderMode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST) altDD=null uri=myWebModule.war #required applicationDeployment=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName2}:ApplicationDeployment=ID# ApplicationDeployment_1183122148265 #ObjectName(ApplicationDeployment) # # Header ( WebDeployment ClassLoader) # ResourceType=Classloader ImplementingResourceType=Application ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:WebModuleDeployment=uri #myWebModule.war:Classloader= # # #Properties # mode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST) # # Header ( WebDeployment ClassLoader's LibraryRef ) # ResourceType=LibraryRef ImplementingResourceType=Application ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:WebModuleDeployment=uri #myWebModule.war:Classloader=:LibraryRef=libraryName#myLibName # # #Properties # libraryName=myLibName sharedClassLoader=null # EnvironmentVariablesSection # # #Environment Variables cellName=myCell04 applicationName=myApp- Run applyConfigProperties to change a web module deployment configuration.
Run the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt '])
Results
We can use the properties file to configure and manage the web module deployment object and its properties.
What to do next
Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract properties files using wsadmin.sh
Create server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files and wsadmin scripting
Delete server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files
