Configure new URL providers

We can use scripting and wsadmin.sh to configure new URL providers.

Before starting this task, wsadmin.sh must be running. See the topic Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

To configure a new URL provider:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the node variable.

   • Jacl:

     set node [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]

   • Jython:

     node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/')
     print node 

   Example output:

   mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)

2. Identify the required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required URLProvider

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig. required('URLProvider')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type
   streamHandlerClassName   String
   protocol       String
   name         String

3. Set up the required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set name [list name URLP1]
     set shcn [list streamHandlerClassName "Put the stream handler classname here"]
     set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"]
     set urlpAttrs [list $name $shcn $protocol]

     Example output:

     {name URLP1} {streamHandlerClassName {Put the stream handler classname here}} {protocol {Put the protocol here}}

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'URLP1']
     shcn = ['streamHandlerClassName', "Put the stream handler classname here"]
     protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"]
     urlpAttrs = [name, shcn, protocol]
     print urlpAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, URLP1], [streamHandlerClassName, "Put the stream handler classname here"], [protocol, "Put the protocol here"]]

4. Create a URL provider:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create URLProvider $node $urlpAttrs

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('URLProvider', node, urlpAttrs)

   Example output:

   URLP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URLProvider_1)

5. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with wsadmin.sh for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with wsadmin.sh for more information.
