Work with HTTP transport properties files

We can use properties files to create or change HTTP transport properties.

Determine the changes to make to your HTTP transport configuration or its configuration objects.

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 create, modify, or delete an HTTP transport object and its configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for an HTTP transport, validate the properties, and apply them to your configuration.

Actions for HTTP transport properties files. We can create, modify, and delete HTTP transport properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Uncomment #DELETE=true and run the deleteConfigProperties command.
create Property	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete Property	To delete one or more properties, run deleteConfigProperties with only those properties to delete in the properties file.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

• Create an HTTP transport and its properties.

  1. Create a properties file for an HTTPTransport object.

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

     An example properties file for an HTTPTransport under a WebContainer of a server follows. An HTTPTransport property has a name of myName and a value of myVal:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=HTTPTransport
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:ApplicationServer=:WebContainer=:HTTPTransport=
     AttributeInfo=transports
     #DELETE=true
     #
     #Properties
     #
     sslEnabled=false #boolean,default(false)
     sslConfig=mysslConfig
     external=false #boolean,default(false)
     #
     
     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=HTTPTransport
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:ApplicationServer=:WebContainer=:HTTPTransport=
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
     #Properties
     #
     myName=myVal
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     serverName=myServer
     nodeName=WASNode04

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create an HTTPTransport 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'])

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

     We can extract a properties file for an HTTPTransport using the extractConfigProperties command.

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

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

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change an HTTP transport configuration.

• Delete the entire HTTP transport object or its properties.

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

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

  To delete one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties.

Results

We can use the properties file to manage the HTTP transport object.

Save the changes to your configuration.
