Object names: What the name string cannot contain
When you create a new object using the admin console or a wsadmin command, you often must specify a string for a name attribute.
Most characters are allowed in the name string. However, the name string cannot contain the following characters. The name string also cannot contain leading and trailing spaces.
/ forward slash \ backslash * asterisk , comma : colon ; semi-colon = equal sign + plus sign ? question mark | vertical bar < left angle bracket > right angle bracket & ampersand (and sign) % percent sign ' single quote mark " double quote mark ]]> No specific name exists for this character combination. . period (not valid if first character; valid if a later character) # Hash mark $ Dollar sign ~ Tilde ( Left parenthesis ) Right parenthesis
- Character restrictions are not enforced for DataSource, ServiceLog, GroupExt, UserExt, or SubjectExt object names.
- We can use one of the following methods to turn off character validation for custom property names, and for the name of Property and J2EEResourceProperty configuration objects in wsadmin commands.
- Set the com.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validatePropNames Java system property to false in the JVM for the dmgr server.
- Set the com.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validatePropNames property using the -javaoption parameter when you use wsadmin.shing in the local mode.
wsadmin -conntype none -javaoption "-Dcom.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validatePropNames=false"
