Work with application deployment properties files

We can use properties files to modify enterprise application deployment properties. An enterprise application must conform to Java EE specifications.

Determine the changes to make to the application deployment configuration.

Start wsadmin.sh. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run...

WP_PROFILE/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file, you can modify an application deployment object. This task resembles editing the deployment options of an application, except it uses an ApplicationDeployment resource type instead of an Application resource type and it specifies more properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for an application deployment, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for application deployment properties files. We can modify application deployment properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit the properties file and then run applyConfigProperties.
delete	Not applicable
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

1. Edit an application deployment configuration.

   For example, specify properties such as the following for an ApplicationDeployment instance:

   ResourceType=ApplicationDeployment
   ImplementingResourceType=Application ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=
   #
   
   #
   #Properties
   #
   recycleOnUpdate=PARTIAL #ENUM(PARTIAL|NONE|FULL),default(PARTIAL)
   allowDispatchRemoteInclude=false #boolean,default(false)
   autoLink=false #boolean,default(false)
   expandSynchronously=false #boolean,default(false)
   zeroBinaryCopy=false #boolean,default(false)
   allowServiceRemoteInclude=false #boolean,default(false)
   warClassLoaderPolicy=MULTIPLE #ENUM(MULTIPLE|SINGLE),required,default(MULTIPLE)
   asyncRequestDispatchType=null #ENUM(CLIENT_SIDE|DISABLED|SERVER_SIDE)
   filePermission=".*\.dll=755#.*\.so=755#.*\.a=755#.*\.sl=755"
   enableDistribution=true #boolean,default(true)
   deploymentId=0 #required
   startingWeight=1 #integer,required,default(1)
   zeroEarCopy=false #boolean,default(false)
   backgroundApplication=false #boolean,default(false)
   reloadInterval=3 #long,default(3)
   useMetadataFromBinaries=false #boolean,default(false)
   reloadEnabled=false #boolean,default(true)
   appContextIDForSecurity="href:IBM-49F7FB781FENode01Cell/DefaultApplication"
   createMBeansForResources=false #boolean,default(false)
   binariesURL="$(APP_INSTALL_ROOT)/$(CELL)/DefaultApplication.ear" #required
   startOnDistribute=false #boolean,default(false)
   
   #
   # Header ( ApplicationDeployment ClassLoader)
   #
   ResourceType=Classloader
   ImplementingResourceType=Application ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:Classloader=
   #
   
   #
   #Properties
   #
   mode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST)
   
   
   #
   # Header (ApplicationDeployment ClassLoader's LibraryRef )
   #
   ResourceType=LibraryRef
   ImplementingResourceType=Application ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:Classloader=:LibraryRef=libraryName#myLibName
   #
   
   #
   #Properties
   #
   libraryName=myLibName
   sharedClassLoader=null
   
   #
   EnvironmentVariablesSection
   #
   #
   #Environment Variables
   cellName=myCell04
   applicationName=myApp
   

2. Run applyConfigProperties to change an application deployment configuration.

   Run applyConfigProperties 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'])
   

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage the application deployment object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract properties files using wsadmin.sh
Create server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files and wsadmin scripting
Delete server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files
