Application server settings

 

Overview

To view or change the settings of an appserver instance:

Servers > Application Servers > server_name

The Configuration tab provides editable fields and the Runtime tab provides read-only information. The Runtime tab is available only when the server is running.

 

Configuration tab

 

Name

Specifies a logical name for the server. Server names must be unique within a node.

Data type String
Default servername

 

Application Class loader Policy

Specifies whether to use a single class loader to load all applications or to use a different class loader for each application.

The options are SINGLE and MULTIPLE. The default is to use a separate class loader for each application (MULTIPLE).

Data type String
Default MULTIPLE

 

Application Classloading Mode

Specifies whether the class loader should search in the parent class loader or in the application class loader first to load a class. The standard for JDK class loaders and WebSphere class loaders is PARENT_FIRST. By specifying PARENT_LAST, your application can override classes contained in the parent class loader, but this action can potentially result in ClassCastException or LinkageErrors if you have mixed use of overriden classes and non-overriden classes.

The options are PARENT_FIRST and PARENT_LAST. The default is to search in the parent class loader before searching in the application class loader to load a class.

Data type String
Default PARENT_FIRST
