Work with web module deployment properties files

Use properties files to modify web module deployment properties. A web module must conform to Java EE specifications.

Determine the changes to make to the web 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 modify a web module deployment object.

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

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 a web module deployment configuration.

   For example, specify properties such as the following for a WebModuleDeployment instance:

   #
   # Header
   #
   ResourceType=WebModuleDeployment
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:WebModuleDeployment=
   uri#myWebModule.war
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   startingWeight=10000 #integer, required,default(1)
   deploymentId=1 # required
   classloaderMode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST)
   altDD=null
   uri=myWebModule.war # required
   applicationDeployment=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName2}:ApplicationDeployment=ID#
   ApplicationDeployment_1183122148265 #ObjectName(ApplicationDeployment)
    #
   # Header ( WebDeployment ClassLoader)
   #
   ResourceType=Classloader
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:WebModuleDeployment=uri
   #myWebModule.war:Classloader=
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   mode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST)
    
   #
   # Header ( WebDeployment ClassLoader's LibraryRef )
   #
   ResourceType=LibraryRef
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:WebModuleDeployment=uri
   #myWebModule.war:Classloader=:LibraryRef=libraryName#myLibName
   #
    #
   #Properties
   #
   libraryName=myLibName  sharedClassLoader=null
    #
   EnvironmentVariablesSection
   #
   #
   #Environment Variables
   cellName=myCell04
   applicationName=myApp

2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a web 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

Use the properties file to configure and manage the web module deployment object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
