Work with URL properties files

We can use properties files to create or change uniform resource locator (URL) properties.

Determine the changes to make to your URL configuration.

Start wsadmin.sh.

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

WP_PROFILE/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete a URL object and its configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a URL instance, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for URL properties files. We can create, modify, and delete URL configuration properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Set properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
modify	Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
delete	Uncomment #DELETE=true and run deleteConfigProperties.

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

• Create a URL and its properties.

  1. Create a properties file for a URL object.

     Open an editor and create a URL properties file. We can copy the example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation.

     An example properties file for a URL named myURLJndiName under the Default URL Provider at cell scope follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=URL
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:URLProvider=Default URL Provider:URL=jndiName#myURLJndiName
     #DELETE=true
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     spec=mySpec #required
     name=myName #required
     description=null
     category=null
     providerType=null
     provider=Default URL Provider #ObjectName(URLProvider)
     jndiName=myURLJndiName #required
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to create a URL 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'])
     

• Modify an existing URL.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the URL to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a URL object using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

  3. Run applyConfigProperties to change a URL configuration.

• If you no longer need a URL, you can delete the entire URL object.

  To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties; for example:

  AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
  

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage the URL object.

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
