Work with mime entry properties

We can use virtual host properties files to create or change mime entry properties.

Determine the changes to make to your mime entry 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 virtual host properties file, we can create, modify, or delete a mime entry. Run administrative commands using wsadmin to configure or delete a mime entry.

Actions for mime entry properties. We can create, modify, and delete mime entry properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify	Edit the properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Specify the mime entries to delete in the Properties section and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

• Create a mime entry.
  1. Edit a VirtualHost properties file so that it specifies a mime entry property.

     Open an editor on a virtual host properties file. We can copy an example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for the situation.

     The following example defines a mime entry inside a virtual host named default_host at the cell scope with type myType and extension myExt:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=VirtualHost
     ImplementingResourceType=VirtualHost
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:VirtualHost=default_host
     AttributeInfo=mimeTypes(type,extensions)
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     myType={myExt}
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a mime entry.

     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 mime entry.
  1. Obtain a virtual host properties file that defines the mime entry to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a VirtualHost object using the extractConfigProperties command.

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

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

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a mime entry.

• Delete an existing mime entry.

  If you no longer need one or more mime entries, list the mime entries you want removed in the Properties section of the virtual host properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command:

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

Results

We can use the properties file to manage the mime entry.

Save the changes to your configuration.
