Working with web container properties files

You can use properties files to change web container properties and associated stateManagement and threadPool attributes under a server.

Before you begin

Determine the changes that you want to make to your Web container 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.

About this task

Using a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete a web container configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a web container, validate the properties, and apply them to your configuration.

Table 1. Actions for web container properties files . You can create, modify, and delete web container properties.
Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Not applicable
create Property	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete Property	Specify the properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

Create web container properties.

Specify WebContainer properties in a properties file.

Open an editor and specify web container properties WebContainer and associated stateManagement and threadPool attributes under a server in a properties file. You can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation. The example shows a property under WebContainer with name myName and value myVal.

Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a WebContainer configuration.
Running 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'])
```

Modify existing web container properties.
1. Obtain a properties file for the web container that you want to change.
  
  You can extract a properties file for a WebContainer using the extractConfigProperties command.
2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.
  
  Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match your system.
3. Run the applyConfigProperties command.
Delete the web container properties.
To delete one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties.
```
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]') 
```

Results

You can use the properties file to configure and manage the web container object.

What to do next

Save the changes to your configuration.
