- Default virtual host
Specify a virtual host that enables a single host machine to resemble multiple host machines. Resources associated with one virtual host cannot share data with resources associated with another virtual host, even if the virtual hosts share the same physical machine.
Select a virtual host option:
- default_host
- WAS provides a default virtual host with some common aliases such as the machine IP address, short host name, and fully qualified host name. The alias comprises the first part of the path for accessing a resource such as a servlet. For example, it is localhost:9080 in the request http://localhost:9080/myServlet.
- admin_host
- This is another name for the appserver; also known as server1 in the base installation. This process supports the use of the administrative console.
- proxy_host
- The virtual host called proxy_host, includes default port definitions, port 80 and 443, which are typically initialized as part of the proxy server initialization. Use this proxy host as appropriate with routing rules associated with the proxy server.
- Enable servlet caching
Specify that if a servlet is invoked once and it generates output to be cached, a cache entry is created containing not only the output, but also side effects of the invocation. These side effects can include calls to other servlets or JavaServer Pages files, as well as metadata about the entry, including timeout and entry priority information.
Portlet fragment caching requires that servlet caching is enabled. Therefore, enabling portlet fragment caching automatically enables servlet caching. Disabling servlet caching automatically disables portlet fragment caching.
- Disable servlet request and response pooling
Specify to disable the pooling of servlet request and servlet response objects that are pooled by the Web container. When you disable pooling of servlet request and servlet response objects, new servlet request and servlet response objects that are created for each request.
