Work with EJB module deployment properties files

We can use properties files to modify EJB module deployment properties. An EJB module must conform to Java EE specifications.

Determine the changes to make to the EJB module deployment configuration.

Start the wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang Jython command from the bin directory of the server profile.

Using a properties file, we can modify an EJB module deployment object.

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

properties files. We can modify EJB module deployment

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

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

1. Edit an EJB module deployment configuration.

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

   #
   # Header
   #
   ResourceType=EJBModuleDeployment
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:
   EJBModuleDeployment=uri#myEjb.jar
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   startingWeight=5000 #integer, required,default(1)
   deploymentId=1 # required
   altDD=null
   uri=myEJB.jar # required
   applicationDeployment=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=  #ObjectName(ApplicationDeployment)
    #
   # Header ( EJBDeployment ClassLoader)
   #
   ResourceType=Classloader
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:EJBModuleDeployment=uri
   #myEJB.jar:Classloader=
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   mode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST)
    
   #
   # Header ( EJBDeployment ClassLoader's LibraryRef )
   #
   ResourceType=LibraryRef
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:EJBModuleDeployment=uri
   #myEJB.jar:Classloader=:LibraryRef=libraryName#myLibName
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   libraryName=myLibName  sharedClassLoader=null
    #
   EnvironmentVariablesSection
   #
   #
   #Environment Variables
   cellName=myCell04
   applicationName=myApp

2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change an EJB module deployment configuration.

   Running the applyConfigProperties command 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 EJB module deployment object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
