Since WAS V6, Web servers are an important conceptual part of a cell configuration. This integration allows you to perform many management tasks for the Web server directly from the Administrative Console. See Chapter 3 and Chapter 6 of IBM WebSphere V6 Scalability and Performance Handbook, SG24-6392 for details.
One of the big advantages of this new design is that you can (and should) map applications to a Web server during deployment. Consequently, individual plug-in files for each Web server are generated which contain only the entries that are relevant for this Web server. For example, only the applications it is supposed to serve and only the appservers it can forward requests to are listed in this individual plug-in file.
The plug-in properties configuration (accessible through Servers | Web servers | WebServerName | Plug-in properties) has two important options that are related to the generation and propagation of the plug-in file:
| Automatically generate the plug-in configuration file |
|
| Automatically propagate plug-in configuration file |
