Work with URL provider properties files

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

Determine the changes to make to your URL provider configuration or its configuration objects.

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 provider object and its configuration properties.

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

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

  1. Create a properties file for a URLProvider object.

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

     An example properties file for a URLProvider object named myProvider at cell scope follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=URLProvider
     ImplementingResourceType=URLProvider
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:URLProvider=myProvider
     #DELETE=true
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     streamHandlerClassName=unused
     classpath={}
     name=myProvider
     nativepath={}
     description=null
     providerType=null #readonly
     protocol=unused
     
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to create a URL provider 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 provider.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the URL provider that you want to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a URLProvider 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 provider configuration.

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