Options for the AdminApp object install, installInteractive, edit, editInteractive, update, and updateInteractive commands using wsadmin scripting

This topic lists the available options for the install, installInteractive, edit, editInteractive, update, and updateInteractive commands of the AdminApp object.

You can use the commands for the AdminApp object to install, edit, update, and manage your application configurations. This topic provides additional options to use with the install, installInteractive, edit, editInteractive, update, and updateInteractive commands to administer your applications. The options listed in this topic apply to all of these commands except where noted.

You can set or update a configuration value using options in batch mode. To identify which configuration object is to be set or updated, the values of read only fields are used to find the corresponding configuration object. All the values of read only fields have to match with an existing configuration object, otherwise the command fails.

You can use pattern matching to simplify the task of supplying required values for certain complex options. Pattern matching only applies to fields that are required or read only.

Attention: If an application is running, changing an application setting causes the application to restart. On stand-alone servers, the application restarts after you save the change. On multiple-server products, the application restarts after you save the change and files synchronize on the node where the application is installed. To control when synchronization occurs on multiple-server products, deselect Synchronize changes with nodes on the Console preferences page.
The following options are available for the install, installInteractive, edit, editInteractive, update, and updateInteractive commands:

ActSpecJNDI

The ActSpecJNDI option binds Java™ 2 Connector (J2C) activation specifications to destination Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) names. You can optionally bind J2C activation specifications in your application or module to a destination JNDI name. You can assign a value to each of the following elements of the ActSpecJNDI option: RARModule, uri, j2cid, and j2c.jndiName fields. The contents of the option after running default bindings include:
  • RARModule: <rar module name>
  • uri: <rar name>,META-INF/ra.xml
  • Object identifier: <messageListenerType>
  • JNDI name: null
To use this option, you must specify the Destination property in the ra.xml file and set the introspected type of the Destination property as javax.jms.Destination

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install $embeddedEar {-ActSpecJNDI
 {{"FVT Resource Adapter" jca15cmd.rar,META-INF/ra.xml javax.jms.MessageListener jndi5}
 {"FVT Resource Adapter" jca15cmd.rar,META-INF/ra.xml javax.jms.MessageListener2 jndi6}}} 
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install $embeddedEar {-ActSpecJNDI
 {{.* .*.rar,.* javax.jms.MessageListener jndi5}
 {.*  .*.rar,.*  javax.jms.MessageListener2 jndi6}}} 
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install(embeddedEar, ['-ActSpecJNDI',
 [["FVT Resource Adapter", 'jca15cmd.rar,META-INF/ra.xml', 'javax.jms.MessageListener', 'jndi5'],
 ["FVT Resource Adapter", 'jca15cmd.rar,META-INF/ra.xml', 'javax.jms.MessageListener2', 'jndi6']]]) 
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install(embeddedEar, ['-ActSpecJNDI',
 [['.*', '.*.rar,.*', 'javax.jms.MessageListener', 'jndi5'],
 ['.*', '.*.rar,.*', 'javax.jms.MessageListener2', 'jndi6']]]) 

allowDispatchRemoteInclude

The allowDispatchRemoteInclude option enables an enterprise application to dispatch includes to resources across web modules that are in different Java virtual machines in a managed node environment through the standard request dispatcher mechanism.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
set deployments [$AdminConfig getid /Deployment:RRDEnabledAppname/]
set deploymentObject [$AdminConfig showAttribute $deployments deployedObject]
set rrdAttr [list allowDispatchRemoteInclude true]
set attrs [list $rrdLocalAttr]
$AdminConfig modify $deploymentObject $attrs
Using Jython:
deployments = AdminConfig.getid ('/Deployment:RRDEnabledAppname/')
deploymentObject = AdminConfig.showAttribute (deployments, 'deployedObject')
rrdAttr = ['allowDispatchRemoteInclude', 'true']
attrs = [rrdLocalAttr]
AdminConfig.modify (deploymentObject, attrs)

allowPermInFilterPolicy

The allowPermInFilterPolicy option specifies that the application server should continue with the application deployment process even when the application contains policy permissions that are in the filter policy. This option does not require a value.

allowServiceRemoteInclude

The allowServiceRemoteInclude option enables an enterprise application to service an include request from an enterprise application with the allowDispatchRemoteInclude option set to true.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
set deployments [$AdminConfig getid /Deployment:RRDEnabledAppname/]
set deploymentObject [$AdminConfig showAttribute $deployments deployedObject]
set rrdAttr [list allowServiceRemoteInclude true]
set attrs [list $rrdAttr]
$AdminConfig modify $deploymentObject $attrs
Using Jython:
deployments = AdminConfig.getid ('/Deployment:RRDEnabledAppname/')
deploymentObject = AdminConfig.showAttribute ('deployments', 'deployedObject')
rrdAttr = ['allowServiceRemoteInclude', 'true']
attrs = [rrdAttr] 
AdminConfig.modify (deploymentObject, attrs) 

appname

The appname option specifies the name of the application. The default value is the display name of the application.

BackendIdSelection

The BackendIdSelection option specifies the backend ID for the enterprise bean Java archive (JAR) modules that have container-managed persistence (CMP) beans. An enterprise bean JAR module can support multiple backend configurations as specified using an application assembly tool. Use this option to change the backend ID during installation.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-BackendIdSelection 
 {{Annuity20EJB Annuity20EJB.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml DB2UDBNT_V72_1}}} 
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-BackendIdSelection 
 {{.* Annuity20EJB.jar,.* DB2UDBNT_V72_1}}} 
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', '[-BackendIdSelection 
 [[Annuity20EJB Annuity20EJB.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml DB2UDBNT_V72_1]]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-BackendIdSelection',
 [['.*', 'Annuity20EJB.jar,.*', 'DB2UDBNT_V72_1']]])

BindJndiForEJBBusiness

The BindJndiForEJBBusiness option binds EJB modules with business interfaces to JNDI names. Ensure that each EJB module with business interfaces is bound to a JNDI name.

The current contents of the option after running default bindings include:
  • Module: Ejb1
  • Bean: MessageBean
  • URI: sample.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Business interface: com.ibm.sample.business.bnd.LocalTargetOne
  • JNDI name: []: ejblocal:ejb/LocalTargetOne

If you specify the target resource JNDI name using the BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding option, do not specify a business interface JNDI name in the BindJndiForEJBBusiness option. If you do not specify the target resource JNDI name, specify a business interface JNDI name. If you do not specify a business interface JNDI name, the run time provides a container default.

For a no-interface view, the business interface value is an empty string ("").

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install $ear {-BindJndiForEJBBusiness {{ ejb_1.jar ejb1 
  ejb_1.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml test.ejb1 jndi1 }}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install $ear {-BindJndiForEJBBusiness {{ .* .* .*.jar,.* test.ejb1 jndi1 }}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install(ear, '[-BindJndiForEJBBusiness [[ejb_1.jar ejb1 
  ejb_1.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml test.ejb1 jndi1 ]]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install(ear, '[-BindJndiForEJBBusiness [[.* .* .*.jar,.* test.ejb1 jndi1]]]')

BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding

The BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding option binds message-driven enterprise beans to listener port names or to activation specification Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) names. Use this option to provide missing data or update a task. When a message-driven enterprise bean is bound to an activation specification JNDI name, you can also specify the destination JNDI name and authentication alias.

Each element of the BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding option consists of the following fields: EJBModule, EJB, uri, listenerPort, JNDI, jndi.dest, and actspec.auth. Some of these fields can be assigned values: listenerPort, JNDI, jndi.dest, and actspec.auth.

The current contents of the option after running default bindings include:
  • Module: Ejb1
  • Bean: MessageBean
  • URI: ejb-jar-ic.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Listener port: [null]:
  • JNDI name: [eis/MessageBean]:
  • Destination JNDI Name: [jms/TopicName]:
  • ActivationSpec Authentication Alias: [null]:

The default Destination JNDI Name is collected from the corresponding message reference.

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install $ear {-BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding {{Ejb1 MessageBean 
 ejb-jar-ic.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml myListenerPort jndi1 jndiDest1 actSpecAuth1}}} 
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install $ear {-BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding {{.*  .*
  .*.jar,.* myListenerPort jndi1 jndiDest1 actSpecAuth1}}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install( ear, ['-BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding',
 [['Ejb1', 'MessageBean', 'ejb-jar-ic.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml', 'myListenerPort',
 'jndi1', 'jndiDest1', 'actSpecAuth1']]]) 
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install( ear, ['-BindJndiForEJBMessageBinding',
 [['.*', '.*', '.*.jar,.*', 'myListenerPort', 'jndi1', 'jndiDest1', 'actSpecAuth1']]])

BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding

The BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding option binds enterprise beans to Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) names. Ensure each non message-driven enterprise bean in your application or module is bound to a JNDI name. Use this option to provide missing data or update a task.

The current contents of the option after running default bindings include:
  • Module: Ejb1
  • Bean: MessageBean
  • URI: ejb-jar-ic.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Target Resource JNDI Name: [com.acme.ejbws.AnnuityMgmtSvcEJB2xJAXRPC]
  • Local Home JNDI Name: [null]
  • Remote Home JNDI Name: [null]

Special constraints exist for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 and later modules. If you specify the target resource JNDI name, do not specify the local home or remote home JNDI names. You also cannot specify the JNDI for business interfaces field in the BindJndiForEJBBusiness option. If you do not specify the target resource JNDI name, then the local and remote home JNDI name fields are optional. If you do not specify local and remote JNDI names, the run time provides a container default.

If you do not use EJB 3.0 modules, you must specify the target resource JNDI name.

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

[Windows]
$AdminApp install c:/myapp.ear {-BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding {{Ejb1 MessageBean

 {-BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding {{.* .* ResumeBankAppEJB.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
 ejb/com/app/ResumeBank/ResumeBank "" "" }}}

Using Jython:

[Windows]
AdminApp.install('C:/myapp.ear', '[-BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding [[Ejb1 MessageBean
  ejb-jar-ic.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml com.acme.ejbws.AnnuityMgmtSvcEJB2xJAXRPC "" ""]]]')
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', '[-BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding [[Ejb1 MessageBean 
  ejb-jar-ic.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml com.acme.ejbws.AnnuityMgmtSvcEJB2xJAXRPC "" ""]]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('app_server_root/samples/SCA/installableApps/JobbankTargetEJBApp.ear',
 '[ -BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding [[ .* .* ResumeBankAppEJB.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
 ejb/com/app/ResumeBank/ResumeBank "" "" ]] ]' )

blaname

Use the blaname option to specify the name of business level application under which the system creates the Java EE application. This option is optional. If you do not specify a value, the system sets the name as the Java EE application name. This option is available only with the install command.

buildVersion

The buildVersion option displays the build version of an application EAR file. You cannot modify this option because it is read-only. This option returns the build version information for an application EAR if you have specified the build version in the MANIFEST.MF application EAR file.

cell

The cell option specifies the cell name to install or update an entire application, or to update an application in order to add a new module. If you want to update an entire application, this option only applies if the application contains a new module that does not exist in the installed application.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

[Windows]
$AdminApp install "C:/samples/SCA/installableApps/JobbankTargetEJBApp.ear" {-cell cellName}
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
$AdminApp install "/samples/SCA/installableApps/JobbankTargetEJBApp.ear" {-cell cellName}

Using Jython:

[Windows]
AdminApp.install('C:/samples/SCA/installableApps/JobbankTargetEJBApp.ear', '[-cell cellName]')
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.install('/samples/SCA/installableApps/JobbankTargetEJBApp.ear', '[-cell cellName]')

clientMode

The clientMode option specifies whether to deploy client modules to an isolated deployment target (isolated), a federated node of a deployment manager (federated), or an application server (server_deployed). If you specify this option, install the client modules only onto a Version 8.0 or later deployment target.

The default value is isolated.

The choice of client deployment mode affects how java: lookups are handled. All Java URL name spaces (global, application, module, and component) are local in isolated client processes. The name spaces reside on a server in federated and server deployed client processes. The server or cluster chosen as a target for a client module determines where those name spaces are created. All java: lookups for federated or server deployed client modules are directed to the target server or cluster. The client module does not actually run in the target server or cluster. Multiple instances of the same client module will all share the component name space in the federated and server deployed modes. Choosing the federated mode is simply a declaration of intent to launch the client module using Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP), but the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) mechanics of federated and server deployed modes are the same.

cluster

The cluster option specifies the cluster name to install, or update an entire application or to update an application in order to add a new module. This option only applies in a WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment environment. If you want to update an entire application, this option only applies if the application contains a new module that does not exist in the installed application. You cannot use the -cluster and -server options together.

If you want to deploy an application and specify the HTTP server during the deployment so that the application will appear in the generated plugin-cfg.xml file, you must first install the application with a target of -cluster. After you install the application and before you save, use the edit command of the AdminApp object to add the additional mapping to the web server.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

[Windows]
$AdminApp install "C:/myapp.ear" {-cluster clusterName}
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
$AdminApp install "myapp.ear" {-cluster clusterName}

Using Jython:

[Windows]
AdminApp.install('C:/myapp/myapp.ear', '[-cluster clusterName]')
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.install('/myapp/myapp.ear', '[-cluster clusterName]')

contents

The contents option specifies the file that contains the content that you want to update. For example, depending on the content type, the file could be an EAR file, a module, a partial zip, or a single file. The path to the file must be local to the scripting client. The contents option is required unless you have specified the delete option.

contenturi

The contenturi option specifies the URI of the file that you are adding, updating, or removing from an application. This option only applies to the update command. The contenturi option is required if the content type is file or modulefile. This option is ignored for other content types.

contextroot

The contextroot option specifies the context root that you use when installing a stand-alone web application archive (WAR) file.

CorrectOracleIsolationLevel

The CorrectOracleIsolationLevel option specifies the isolation level for the Oracle type provider. Use this option to provide missing data or to update a task. The last field of each entry specifies the isolation level. Valid isolation level values are 2 or 4.

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You only need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-CorrectOracleIsolationLevel
 {{AsyncSender jms/MyQueueConnectionFactory jms/Resource1 2}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-CorrectOracleIsolationLevel
  {{.*  jms/MyQueueConnectionFactory jms/Resource1 2}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', '[-CorrectOracleIsolationLevel
 [[AsyncSender jms/MyQueueConnectionFactory jms/Resource1 2]]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-CorrectOracleIsolationLevel',
 [['.*', 'jms/MyQueueConnectionFactory', 'jms/Resource1', 2]]])

CorrectUseSystemIdentity

The CorrectUseSystemIdentity option replaces RunAs System to RunAs Roles. The enterprise beans that you install contain a RunAs system identity. You can optionally change this identity to a RunAs role. Use this option to provide missing data or update a task.

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-CorrectUseSystemIdentity {{Inc "Increment Bean Jar"
 Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml getValue() RunAsUser2 user2 password2} 
 {Inc "Increment Bean Jar" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml Increment()
 RunAsUser2 user2 password2}}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-CorrectUseSystemIdentity
 {{.*  .*  .*  getValue() RunAsUser2 user2 password2}
 {.*  .*  .*  Increment() RunAsUser2 user2 password2}}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', '[-CorrectUseSystemIdentity
 [[Inc "Increment Bean Jar" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml getValue()
 RunAsUser2 user2 password2] 
 [Inc "Increment Bean Jar" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml Increment()
 RunAsUser2 user2 password2]]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-CorrectUseSystemIdentity',
 [['.*', '.*', '.*', 'getValue()', 'RunAsUser2', 'user2', 'password2'],
 ['.*', '.*', '.*', 'Increment()', 'RunAsUser2', 'user2', 'password2']]])

createMBeansForResources

The createMBeansForResources option specifies that MBeans are created for all resources, such as servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and enterprise beans, that are defined in an application when the application starts on a deployment target. This option does not require a value. The default setting is the nocreateMBeansForResources option.

CtxRootForWebMod

The CtxRootForWebMod option edits the context root of the web module. You can edit a context root that is defined in the application.xml file using this option. The current contents of this option after running default bindings as follows:
  • Web module: xxx
  • URI: xxx
  • ContextRoot: <context root>
If the web module is a Servlet 2.5, the contents of this option are populated only from the XML deployment descriptor. You cannot get deployment information from annotations with this option.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

$AdminApp install app_server_root/installableApps/ivtApp.ear
 {-appname ivtApp -CtxRootForWebMod
 {{"IVT Application" ivt_app.war,WEB-INF/web.xml /mycontextroot}}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-appname MyApp -CtxRootForWebMod {{.* .* /mycontextroot}}}

Using Jython:

AdminApp.install('app_server_root/installableApps/ivtApp.ear',

Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-appname', 'MyApp', '-CtxRootForWebMod',
 [['.*', '.*', '/mycontextroot']]])

custom

The custom option specifies a name-value pair using the format name=value. Use the custom option to pass options to application deployment extensions. See the application deployment extension documentation for available custom options.

CustomActivationPlan

The CustomActivationPlan option specifies runtime components to add or remove from the default runtime components that are used to run the application. Only use this option when the application server can not obtain all necessary runtime components by inspecting the application.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('Increment.jar','[-CustomActivationPlan [["Increment Enterprise Java Bean"
 Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml WebSphere:specname=WS_ComponentToAdd ""]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:

Startup beans WS_StartupService

DataSourceFor10CMPBeans

The DataSourceFor10CMPBeans option specifies optional data sources for individual 1.x container-managed persistence (CMP) beans. Use this option to provide missing data or to update a task.

Mapping a specific data source to a CMP bean overrides the default data source for the module that contains the enterprise bean. Each element of the DataSourceFor10CMPBeans option consists of the following fields: EJBModule, EJB, uri, JNDI, userName, password, login.config.name, and auth.props. Of these fields, the following fields can be assigned values: JNDI, userName, password, login.config.name, and auth.props.

The current contents of the option after running default bindings include:
  • Module: Increment CMP 1.1 EJB
  • Bean: IncCMP11
  • URI: IncCMP11.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Target Resource JNDI name: [DefaultDatasource]:
  • User name: [null]:
  • Password: [null]:
  • Login configuration name: [null]: Use this option to create a custom login configuration. The client can use JAAS to create a login design.
  • Properties: [null]: Use this option to create a custom login configuration. The client can use JAAS to create a login design.

If the login.config.name is set to DefaultPrincipalMapping, a property is created with the name com.ibm.mapping.authDataAlias. The value of the property is set by the auth.props. If the login.config name is not set to DefaultPrincipalMapping, the auth.props can specify multiple properties. The string format is websphere:name= <name1>,value=<value1>,description=<desc1>. Specify multiple properties using the plus sign (+) .

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are missing information, or requiring an update.

Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('app_server_root/installableApps/ivtApp.ear',
 ['-appname', 'MyApp', '-JSPReloadForWebMod', [['.*', '.*', 'Yes', ‘5']]])
Note: For IBM® extension and binding files, the .xmi or .xml file name extension is different depending on whether you are using a pre-Java EE 5 application or module or a Java EE 5 or later application or module. An IBM extension or binding file is named ibm-*-ext.xmi or ibm-*-bnd.xmi where * is the type of extension or binding file such as app, application, ejb-jar, or web. The following conditions apply:
  • For an application or module that uses a Java EE version prior to version 5, the file extension must be .xmi.
  • For an application or module that uses Java EE 5 or later, the file extension must be .xml. If .xmi files are included with the application or module, the product ignores the .xmi files.

However, a Java EE 5 or later module can exist within an application that includes pre-Java EE 5 files and uses the .xmi file name extension.

The ibm-webservices-ext.xmi, ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi, ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi, ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi, and ibm-portlet-ext.xmi files continue to use the .xmi file extensions.

MapEJBRefToEJB

The MapEJBRefToEJB option maps enterprise Java references to enterprise beans. You must map each enterprise bean reference defined in your application to an enterprise bean. Use this option to provide missing data or update to a task.

If the EJB reference is from an EJB 3.x, Web 2.4, or Web 2.5 module, the JNDI name is optional. If you specify the useAutoLink option, the JNDI name is optional. The run time provides a container default. An EJB 3.0 or later module cannot contain container-managed or bean-managed persistence entity beans. Installation fails when a container-managed or bean-managed persistence entity bean is packaged in an EJB 3.x module of a Java EE application. You can only package container-managed or bean-managed persistence beans in an EJB 2.1 or earlier module.

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data needed for your application. You only need to provide data for rows or entries that are missing information, or those where you want to update the existing data.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

$AdminApp install techapp.ear {-MapEJBRefToEJB {{"JAASLogin" "" JAASLoginWeb.war,

MapEnvEntryForApp

The MapEnvEntryForApp option edits the env-entry value of the application. You can use this option to edit the value of env-entry in the application.xml file.

The current contents of this option after running default bindings are the following:
  • Name: xxx
  • Type: xxx
  • Description: xxx
    Avoid trouble: If after running the default bindings, the value is a null value, you must change the value to .* before you run this task. The .* value is the wildcard value that lets any description be a match. If you leave the value as null, exceptions will occur when you run the MapEnvEntryForApp task.
  • Value: <env-entry value>

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data needed for your application.

MapModulesToServers

The MapModulesToServers option specifies the application server where you want to install modules that are contained in your application. You can install modules on the same server, or disperse them among several servers. Use this option to provide missing data or to update to a task.

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

The following example installs Increment.jar on one server:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install Increment.jar {-MapModulesToServers
 {{"Increment Enterprise Java Bean" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
 WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server1}}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('Increment.jar', '[-MapModulesToServers
 [["Increment Enterprise Java Bean" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
 WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server1] ]]')

The following example installs Increment.jar and maps it to two servers that are managed by a deployment manager:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install Increment.jar {-MapModulesToServers
 {{ "Increment Enterprise Java Bean" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
 WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server1+WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server2}}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('Increment.jar', '[ -MapModulesToServers
 [[ "Increment Enterprise Java Bean" Increment.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
 WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server1+WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server2]]]')

The following example adds server2 and server3 for an application that is installed:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-MapModulesToServers {{.* .* 
 +WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server2+WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server3}}
 -appname myapp -update -update.ignore.old} 
Using Jython:

 '+WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server2+WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server3']],
 '-appname', 'myapp', '-update', '-update.ignore.old']) 

The following example removes server1 from the application that is installed:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp edit myapp {-MapModulesToServers
 {{.* .* -WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server1}}
 -update -update.ignore.old} 
Using Jython:
AdminApp.edit('myapp', ['-MapModulesToServers',
 [['.*', '.*', '-WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=server1']]]) 

MapResEnvRefToRes

The MapResEnvRefToRes option maps resource environment references to resources. You must map each resource environment reference that is defined in your application to a resource. Use this option to provide missing data or to update a task.

MapResRefToEJB

The MapResRefToEJB option maps resource references to resources. You must map each resource reference that is defined in your application to a resource. Use this option to provide missing data or to update a task.

The parameters for MapResRefToEJB include:
  • Module: Ejb1
  • Bean: MailEJBObject
  • URI: deplmtest.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Resource Reference: jms/MyConnectionFactory
  • Resource type: javax.jms.ConnectionFactory
  • Target Resource JNDI Name: [jms/MyConnectionFactory]:
  • Login Configuration Name: [null]: Use this option to create a custom login configuration. The client can use JAAS to create a login design.
  • Properties: []: Use this option to create a custom login configuration. The client can use JAAS to create a login design.
  • Extended Data source properties: []: Use this option so that a data source that uses heterogeneous pooling can connect to a DB2 database. The pattern for the property is property1=value1+property2=value 2.

The DefaultPrincipalMapping login configuration is used by Java 2 Connectors (J2C) to map users to principals that are defined in the J2C authentication data entries. If the login.config.name is set to DefaultPrincipalMapping, a property is created with the name com.ibm.mapping.authDataAlias. The value of the property is set by the auth.props. If the login.config name is not set to DefaultPrincipalMapping, the auth.props can specify multiple properties. The string format is websphere:name= <name1>,value=<value1>,description=<desc1>. Specify multiple properties using the plus sign (+).

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application. You need to provide data for rows or entries that are either missing information, or requiring an update.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

 {{deplmtest.jar .*  .*  .*  .*  jndi1 login1 authProps1
 "clientApplicationInformation=new application"}
 {"JavaMail Sample WebApp" .*  .*  .*  .*  jndi2 login2 authProps2 ""}}}
Note: If you use multiple values for extended data source properties, you must assign the values to a variable and use that variable for the property value. For example:
set s \"value1,value2\"
In the command substitution, reference the variable as shown in the following example:
"clientApplicationInformation=value1,value2" with "clientapplication=$s"
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-MapResRefToEJB', 
 [['deplmtest.jar', 'MailEJBObject', 'deplmtest.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml

Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear',
 ['-MapWebModToVH', [['.*', '.*', 'default_host']]])

MetadataCompleteForModules

The MetadataCompleteForModules option enables each Java EE 5 or later module to write out the complete deployment descriptor, including deployment information from annotations. Then the system marks the deployment descriptor for the module as complete.

Avoid trouble: If your Java EE 5 or later application uses annotations and a shared library, do not use this option. When your application uses annotations and a shared library, setting the metadata-complete attribute to true causes the product to incorrectly represent an @EJB annotation in the deployment descriptor as <ejb-ref> rather than <ejb-local-ref>. For web modules, setting the metadata-complete attribute to true might cause InjectionException errors. If you must set the metadata-complete attribute to true, avoid errors by not using a shared library, by placing the shared library in either the classes or lib directory of the application server, or by fully specifying the metadata in the deployment descriptors.
The current contents of this option after running default bindings are the following:
  • Module: EJBDD_1.jar
  • URI: EJBDD_1.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Lock deployment descriptor: [false]:
  • Module: EJBNoDD_2.jar
  • URI: EJBNoDD_2.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Lock deployment descriptor: [false]:

Use the taskInfo command of the AdminApp object to obtain information about the data that is needed for your application.

noallowServiceRemoteInclude

The noallowServiceRemoteInclude option disables the enterprise application that services an include request from an enterprise application that has the allowDispatchRemoteInclude option set to true.

node

The node option specifies the node name to install or update an entire application or to update an application in order to add a new module. If you want to update an entire application, this option only applies if the application contains a new module that does not exist in the installed application.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

[Windows]
$AdminApp install "C:/myapp.ear" {-node nodeName}
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
$AdminApp install "/myapp.ear" {-node nodeName}

AdminApp.install('C:/myapp/myapp.ear', '[-node nodeName]')
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.install('/myapp/myapp.ear', '[-node nodeName]')

nocreateMBeansForResources

The nocreateMBeansForResources option specifies that MBeans are not created for all resources, such as servlets, JavaServer Pages files, and enterprise beans, that are defined in an application when the application starts on a deployment target. This option is the default setting and it does not require a value.

nodeployejb

The nodeployejb option specifies not to run the EJBDeploy tool during installation. This option is the default setting and does not require a value.

nodeployws

The nodeployws option specifies not to deploy web services during installation. This option is the default setting and does not require a value.

nodistributeApp

The nodistributeApp option specifies that the application management component does not distribute application binaries. This option does not require a value. The default setting is the distributeApp option.

noenableClientModule

The noenableClientModule option specifies not to deploy client modules. This option does not require a value. This is the default. The default is not to deploy client modules. Use the enableClientModule option to deploy client modules.

noreloadEnabled

The noreloadEnabled option disables class reloading. This option is the default setting and does not require a value. To specify that the file system of the application be scanned for updated files so that changes reload dynamically, use the reloadEnabled option.

nopreCompileJSPs

The nopreCompileJSPs option specifies not to precompile JavaServer Pages files. This option is the default setting and does not require a value.

noprocessEmbeddedConfig

The noprocessEmbeddedConfig option specifies that the system should ignore the embedded configuration data that is included in the application. This option does not require a value. If the application enterprise archive (EAR) file does not contain embedded configuration data, the noprocessEmbeddedConfig option is the default setting. Otherwise, the default setting is the processEmbeddedConfig option.

nouseAutoLink

The nouseAutoLink option specifies not to use the useAutoLink option, and not to automatically resolve Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) references from EJB module versions prior to EJB 3.0 and from web module versions that are prior to Version 2.4.

nouseMetaDataFromBinary

The nouseMetaDataFromBinary option specifies that the metadata that is used at run time, for example, deployment descriptors, bindings, extensions, and so on, come from the configuration repository. This option is the default setting and does not require a value. Use this option to indicate that the metadata that is used at run time comes from the enterprise archive (EAR) file.

nousedefaultbindings

The nousedefaultbindings option specifies not to use default bindings for installation. This option is the default setting and does not require a value.

novalidateSchema

The novalidateSchema option specifies not to validate the deployment descriptors against published Java EE deployment descriptor schemas. This option does not require a value. This is the default. The default is not to validate deployment descriptors.

operation

The operation option specifies the operation that you want to perform. This option only applies to the update or updateInteractive commands. The valid values include:
  • add - Adds new content.
  • addupdate - Adds or updates content based on the existence of content in the application.
  • delete - Deletes content.
  • update - Updates existing content.

The operation option is required if the content type is file or modulefile. If the value of the content type is app, the value of the operation option must be update. The contenturi option is ignored when the content type is app.

Batch mode example usage

The following examples show how to use the options for the update command to update an entire deployed enterprise application:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp update "IVT Application" app {-operation update
 -contents app_server_root/installableApps/ivtApp.ear}
Using Jython string:
AdminApp.update('IVT Application', 'app', '[ -operation update
 -contents app_server_root/installableApps/ivtApp.ear ]' )

The following examples show how to use the options for the update command to update a single file in a deployed application:

Using Jacl:

[Windows]
$AdminApp update app1 file {-operation update -contents 
 C:/apps/app1/my.xml -contenturi app1.jar/my.xml}
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
$AdminApp update app1 file {-operation update 
 -contents /apps/app1/my.xml -contenturi app1.jar/my.xml}

Using Jython string:

[Windows]
AdminApp.update('app1', 'file', '[-operation update -contents 
 C:/apps/app1/my.xml -contenturi app1.jar/my.xml]')
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.update('app1', 'file', '[-operation update 
 -contents /apps/app1/my.xml -contenturi app1.jar/my.xml]')

Using Jython list:

[Windows]
AdminApp.update('app1', 'file', ['-operation', 'update', '-contents', 
 'C:/apps/app1/my.xml', '-contenturi', app1.jar/my.xml'])
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.update('app1', 'file', ['-operation',  'update', '-contents',
 '/apps/app1/my.xml', '-contenturi', app1.jar/my.xml'])

where AdminApp is the scripting object, update is the command, app1 is the name of the application you want to update, file is the content type, operation is an option of the update command, update is the value of the operation option, contents is an option of the update command, /apps/app1/my.xml is the value of the contents option, contenturi is an option of the update command, app1.jar/my.xml is the value of the contenturi option.

processEmbeddedConfig

The processEmbeddedConfig option processes the embedded configuration data that is included in the application. This option does not require a value. If the application enterprise archive (EAR) file contains embedded configuration data, this option is the default setting. If not, the default setting is the nonprocessEmbeddedConfig option.

This setting affects installation of enhanced EAR files. An enhanced EAR file results when you export an installed application. Enhanced EAR files have an embedded configuration that consists of files such as resource.xml and variables.xml. This option loads an embedded configuration to the application scope from the EAR file.

If you exported the application from a cell other than the current cell and did not specify the $(CELL) variable for the installed.ear.destination option when first installing the application, use the nonprocessEmbeddedConfig option to expand the enhanced EAR file in the profile_root/installedApps/current_cell_name directory. Otherwise, use this processEmbeddedConfig option to expand the enhanced EAR file in the profile_root/installedApps/original_cell_name directory, where original_cell_name is the cell on which the application was first installed. If you specified the $(CELL) variable for the installed.ear.destination option when you first installed the application, installation expands the enhanced EAR file in the profile_root/installedApps/current_cell_name directory.

preCompileJSPs

The preCompileJSPs option specifies to precompile the JavaServer Pages files. This option does not require a value. The default value is nopreCompileJSPs. If you want to precompile JavaServer Pages files, specify it as a part of installation. The default is not to precompile JavaServer Pages files. The preCompileJSPs option is ignored during deployment and JavaServer Pages files are not precompiled. The flag is set automatically using assembly tools.

For this option, install only onto a Version 8.5 deployment target, which has the same or higher Java SDK level than the deployment manager.

reloadEnabled

The reloadEnabled option specifies that the file system of the application will be scanned for updated files so that changes reload dynamically. If this option is enabled and if application classes are changed, then the application is stopped and restarted to reload updated classes. This option is not the default setting and does not require a value. The default setting is the noreloadEnabled option.

reloadInterval

The reloadInterval option specifies the time period in seconds that the file system of the application will be scanned for updated files. Valid range is greater than zero. The default is three seconds.

SharedLibRelationship

The SharedLibRelationship option assigns assets or composition unit IDs as shared libraries for each Java EE module.

The current contents of the option after running default bindings include:
  • Module: EJB3BNDBean.jar
  • URI: EJB3BNDBean.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  • Relationship IDs: specify asset or composition unit IDs, such as [WebSphere:cuname=sharedLibCU1,cuedition=1.0] or WebSphere:assetname=sharedLibAsset1.jar
  • Composition Unit names: optionally specify composition unit names for asset relationship IDs. The system uses the same name as the asset if you do not specify a composition unit name. []
  • Match target: [Yes]:
You can specify assets and composition unit IDs in the relationship, as the following guidelines explain:
  • If you specify an asset, the system creates a composition unit with that asset in the same business level application where the Java EE application belongs.
  • If you specify a value for the composition unit names, then the system position matches each name with the corresponding relationship IDs values.
  • If the relationship ID is a composition unit ID, then the system ignores the corresponding composition unit name.
  • If the relationship ID is an asset ID, then the system creates the composition unit using the corresponding composition unit name.

To specify more than one asset or composition unit ID, separate each value with the plus sign character (+).

When using the edit command for the Java EE application, you can override the relationship with a new set of composition unit relationship IDs, or you can add or remove existing composition unit relationships. You cannot specify an asset relationship when using the edit command. Specify the first character of the composition unit ID as the plus sign character (+) to add to the relationship, or specify the number sign character (#) to remove the composition unit ID from existing relationships. For example, the +cuname=cu2.zip composition unit syntax adds the cu2 composition unit to the relationship. The #cuname=cu1.zip+cuname=cu2.zip composition unit syntax removes the cu1 and cu2 composition units from the relationship.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-SharedLibRelationship {{EJB3BNDBean.jar 
 EJB3BNDBean.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml WebSphere:cuname=sharedLibCU1 "" Yes}}}

Using Jacl with pattern matching:

$AdminApp install myapp.ear {-SharedLibRelationship {{.*
 EJB3BNDBean.jar,.* WebSphere:cuname=sharedLibCU1 "" Yes}}}

Using Jython:

AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-SharedLibRelationship',
 [['EJB3BNDBean,jar', 'EJB3BNDBean.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml',
 'WebSphere:cuname=sharedLibCU1,' '', 'Yes']]])

Using Jython with pattern matching:

AdminApp.install('myapp.ear', ['-SharedLibRelationship', [['.*',
 'EJB3BNDBean.jar,.*', 'WebSphere:cuname=sharedLibCU1', '', 'Yes']]]

server

The server option specifies the name of the server on which you want to perform one of the following actions:
  • Install a new application.
  • Replace an existing application with an updated version of that application. In this situation, the server option is meaningful only if the updated version of the application contains a new module that does not exist in the already installed version of the application.
  • Add a new module to an existing application.

You cannot use the -cluster and -server options together. If you want to deploy an application and specify the HTTP server during the deployment so that the application will appear in the generated plugin-cfg.xml file, you must first install the application with a target of -cluster. After you install the application and before you save, use the edit command of the AdminApp object to add the additional mapping to the web server.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

$AdminApp install app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear
 {-server server1}

Using Jython:

AdminApp.install('app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear',
 '[-server server1]')

target

The target option specifies the target for the installation functions of the AdminApp object. The following is an example of a target option: WebSphere:cell=mycell,node=mynode,server=myserver

You can specify multiple targets by delimiting them with a plus (+) sign. By default, the targets that you specify when you install or edit an application replace the existing target definitions in the application. You can use a leading plus (+) sign to add targets or a negative (-) sign to remove targets without having to specify the targets that are not changed.
Note: The full target mapping syntax has to be used with the MapModulesToServers option when multiple domains are used. You cannot use leading + sign to add a new target with the MapModulesToServers option when multiple domains are used; the runtime is not able to correctly resolve the domains mapped to the deployment targets.

Batch mode example usage

The following example specifies server1 as the target server for the application installation:

Using Jacl:

$AdminApp install app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear
 {-appname MyApp -target WebSphere:cell=myCell,node=myNode,server=server1}

Using Jython:

AdminApp.install("app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear",
 ["-appname", "MyApp", "-target", "WebSphere:cell=myCell,node=myNode,server=server1"])

The following example specifies server1 and server2 as target servers for the application installation:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear
 {-appname MyApp -target
 WebSphere:cell=myCell,node=Node1,server=server1+WebSphere:cell=Cell1,node=myNode,server=server2}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install("app_server_root/installableApps/DynaCacheEsi.ear",
 ["-appname", "MyApp", "-target",
 "WebSphere:cell=myCell,node=Node1,server=server1+WebSphere:cell=Cell1,node=myNode,server=server2"])

The following example removes server3 from the application that is installed:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install
 app_server_root/binaries/DefaultApplication.ear {-appname MyApp
 -target -WebSphere:cell=GooddogCell,node=BaddogNode,server=server3
 -update -update.ignore.old}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install("app_server_root/binaries/DefaultApplication.ear",
 ["-appname", "MyApp",
 "-target", "-WebSphere:cell=GooddogCell,node=BaddogNode,server=server3",
 "-update", "-update.ignore.old"])

The following example adds server4 to the application that is installed:

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp update app {-appname MyApp
 -target +WebSphere:cell=GooddogCell,node=GooddogNode,server=server4
 -contents app_server_root/binaries/DefaultApplication.ear
 -operation update -update.ignore.old}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.update("app", ["-appname", "MyApp",
 "-target", "+WebSphere:cell=GooddogCell,node=GooddogNode,server=server4",
 "-contents", "app_server_root/binaries/DefaultApplication.ear",
 "-operation", "update", "-update.ignore.old"]) 

update

The update option updates the installed application with a new version of the enterprise archive (EAR) file. This option does not require a value.

The application to update, which is specified by the appname option, must already be installed in the WebSphere Application Server configuration. The update action merges bindings from the new version with the bindings from the old version, uninstalls the old version, and installs the new version. The binding information from new version of the EAR file or module is preferred over the corresponding one from the old version. If any element of binding is missing in the new version, the corresponding element from the old version is used.

update.ignore.new

The update.ignore.new option specifies that during the update action, binding information from the old version of the application or module is preferred over the corresponding binding information from the new version. If any element of the binding does not exist in the old version, the element from the new version is used. That is, bindings from the new version of the application or module are ignored if a binding exists in the old version. Otherwise, the new bindings are honored and not ignored. This option does not require a value.

This option applies only if you specify one of the following items:
  • The update option for the install command.
  • The modulefile or app as the content type for the update command.

update.ignore.old

The update.ignore.old option specifies that during the update action, the binding information from the new version of the application or module is preferred over the corresponding binding information from the old version. The bindings from the old version of the application or module are ignored. This option does not require a value. This option applies only if you specify one of the following items:
  • The update option for the install command.
  • The modulefile or app as the content type for the update command.

useAutoLink

Use the useAutoLink option to automatically resolve Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) references from EJB module versions prior to EJB 3.0, and from web module versions that are prior to Version 2.4. If you enable the useAutoLink option, you can optionally specify the JNDI name for MapEJBRefToEJB option. Each module in the application must share one common target to enable autolink support.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:

[Windows]
$AdminApp install C:/myapp.ear {-useAutoLink} 
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
$AdminApp install /myapp.ear {-useAutoLink} 

Using Jython:

[Windows]
AdminApp.install('C:/myapp.ear','[-useAutoLink]') 
[Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]
AdminApp.install('myapp.ear','[-useAutoLink]') 

usedefaultbindings

The usedefaultbindings option specifies to use default bindings for installation. This option does not require a value. The default setting is nousedefaultbindings.

To use the existing listener port instead of using or creating a new activation specification, determine whether the EJB JAR version is earlier than 2.1. The system automatically creates and uses an activation specification when you specify the -usedefaultbindings option to deploy an application. If an activation specification exists, the system ignores the listener port, and instead uses the activation specification. To deploy an application with an EJB JAR version greater than or equal to 2.1 using the defined listener ports instead of a new activation specification, set the com.ibm.websphere.management.application.dfltbndng.mdb.preferexisting system property to true in the wsadmin.properties file in the properties directory of the profile of interest.

useMetaDataFromBinary

The useMetaDataFromBinary option specifies that the metadata that is used at run time, for example, deployment descriptors, bindings, extensions, and so on, come from the EAR file. This option does not require a value. The default value is nouseMetaDataFromBinary, which means that the metadata that is used at run time comes from the configuration repository.

validateinstall

The validateinstall option specifies the level of application installation validation. Valid option values include:
  • off - Specifies no application deployment validation. This value is the default.
  • warn - Performs application deployment validation and continues with the application deployment process even when reported warnings or error messages exist.
  • fail - Performs application deployment validation and does not to continue with the application deployment process when reported warnings or error messages exist.

validateSchema

The validateSchema option specifies to validate the deployment descriptors against published Java EE deployment descriptor schemas. When this application deployment option is selected, the product analyzes each deployment descriptor to determine the Java EE specification version for the deployment descriptor, selects the appropriate schema, and then checks the deployment descriptor against the Java EE deployment descriptor schema. Validation errors result in error messages.

This option does not require a value. The default value is novalidateSchema. By default, the validateSchema option is ignored during deployment and the product does not validate deployment descriptors.

verbose

The verbose option causes additional messages to display during installation. This option does not require a value.

WebServicesClientBindDeployedWSDL

The WebServicesClientBindDeployedWSDL option identifies the client web service that you are modifying. The scoping fields include: Module, EJB, and web service. The single mutable value for this task is the deployed WSDL file name. It indicates the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) the client uses.

The Module field identifies the enterprise or web application within the application. If the module is an enterprise bean , the EJB field identifies a particular enterprise bean within the module. The web service field identifies the web service within the enterprise bean or the web application module. This identifier corresponds to the wsdl:service attribute in the WSDL file, which has a prefix of service/; for example, service/WSLoggerService2.

The deployed WSDL attribute names a WSDL file relative to the client module. An example of a deployed WSDL for a web application is the following: WEB-INF/wsdl/WSLoggerService.

Batch mode example usage

WebServicesClientBindPreferredPort

The WebServicesClientBindPreferredPort option associates a preferred port (implementation) with a port type (interface) for a client web service. The immutable values identify a port type of the client web service that you are modifying. The scoping fields include: Module, EJB, Web service and Port Type. The mutable value for this task is Port.
  • Port Type - QName ("{namespace} localname") of a port type that is defined by a wsdl:portType attribute in the WSDL file that identifies an interface.
  • Port - QName of a port defined by a wsdl:port attribute within a wsdl:service attribute in a WSDL file that identifies an implementation that has preference.

WebServicesServerBindPort

The WebServicesServerBindPort option sets two attributes of a web service port. The immutable values identify the port of a web service that you are modifying. The scope fields include: Module, Web service and Port. The mutable values include: WSDL Service Name, and Scope.

The scope determines the lifecycle of implementing the Java bean. The valid values include: Request (new instance for each request), Application (one instance for each web-app), and Session (new instance for each HTTP session).

The scope attribute does not apply to web services that a Java Message Service (JMS) transport. The scope attribute does not apply to enterprise beans.

The WSDL service name identifies a service when more than one service has the same port name. The WSDL service name is represented as a QName string, for example, {namespace}localname .

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp install WebServicesSamples.ear {-WebServicesServerBindPort
 {{AddressBookW2JE.jar service/WSLoggerService2 WSLoggerJMS {} Session}}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp install WebServicesSamples.ear {-WebServicesServerBindPort
 {{.*  WSClientTestService WSClientTest Request} {.*  StockQuoteService StockQuote Application}
 {.*  StockQuoteService StockQuote2 Session}}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.install('WebServicesSamples.ear', '[-WebServicesServerBindPort
 [[AddressBookW2JE.jar service/WSLoggerService2 WSLoggerJMS "" Session]]]')
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.install('WebServicesSamples.ear', ['-WebServicesServerBindPort',
 [['.*', 'WSClientTestService', 'WSClientTest', 'Request'],
 ['.*', 'StockQuoteService', 'StockQuote', 'Application'],
 ['.*', 'StockQuoteService', 'StockQuote2', 'Session']]])

WebServicesClientCustomProperty

The WebServicesClientCustomProperty option supports the configuration of the name value parameter for the description of the client bind file of a web service. The immutable values identify the port of the web service that you are modifying. The scope fields include: Module, Web service, and Port. The mutable values include: name and value.

The format of the name and value values include a string that represents multiple name and value pairs by using the + character as a separator. For example, name string = "n1+n2+n3" value string = "v1+v2+v3" yields name/value pairs: {{"n1" "v1"}, {"n2" "v2"}, {"n3" " v3"}},

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp edit WebServicesSamples {-WebServicesClientCustomProperty
 {{join.jar com_ibm_ws_wsfvt_test_multiejbjar_client_WSClientTest service/StockQuoteService
 STockQuote propname1 propValue1}
{ejbclientonly.jar Exchange service/STockQuoteService STockQuote propname2 propValue2}}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
$AdminApp edit WebServicesSamples {-WebServicesClientCustomProperty
 {{join.jar com_ibm_ws_wsfvt_test_multiejbjar_client_WSClientTest .* .* propname1 propValue1}
 {ejbclientonly.jar Exchange .* .* propname2 propValue2}}}
Using Jython:
AdminApp.edit('WebServicesSamples', ['-WebServicesClientCustomProperty',
 [['join.jar', 'com_ibm_ws_wsfvt_test_multiejbjar_client_WSClientTest',
 'service/StockQuoteService', 'STockQuote', 'propname1', 'propValue1'],
 ['ejbclientonly.jar', 'Exchange', 'service/STockQuoteService', 'STockQuote',
 'propname2', 'propValue2']]])
Using Jython with pattern matching:
AdminApp.edit('WebServicesSamples', ['-WebServicesClientCustomProperty',
 [['join.jar', 'com_ibm_ws_wsfvt_test_multiejbjar_client_WSClientTest',
 '.*', '.*', 'propname1', 'propValue1'],
 ['ejbclientonly.jar', 'Exchange', '.*', '.*', 'propname2', 'propValue2']]])

WebServicesServerCustomProperty

The WebServicesServerCustomProperty option supports the configuration of the name value parameter for the description of the server bind file of a web service. The scoping fields include the following: Module, EJB, and web service. The mutable values for this task include: name and value.

The format of the these values include a string that represents multiple name and value pairs by using the plus (+) character as a separator. For example, name string = "n1+n2+n3" value string = "v1+v2+v3" yields name and value pairs: {{"n1" "v1"}, {"n2" "v2"}, {"n3" " v3"}}.

Batch mode example usage

Using Jacl:
$AdminApp edit WebServicesSamples {-WebServicesServerCustomProperty
 {{AddressBookW2JE.jar AddressBookService AddressBook
 com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.responseContentEncoding deflate}}}
Using Jacl with pattern matching:
