Work with J2EEResourceProperty properties files

Use properties files to create or change J2EEResourceProperty properties.

Determine the changes to make to your J2EE resource property configuration.

Run: wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file to create, modify, or delete a J2EEResourceProperty object and its configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a J2EE resource property, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

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.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Tasks

• Create a J2EE resource property.

  1. Create a properties file for a J2EEResourceProperty object.

     Open an editor and create a J2EEResourceProperty properties file. We can copy the example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for our situation.

     The following example properties file defines a J2EEResourceProperty named myPropName with a value of myVal inside a J2CResourceAdapter named WebSphere Relational Resource Adapter at the cell scope:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=J2EEResourcePropertySet
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:J2CResourceAdapter=WebSphere Relational Resource Adapter:J2EEResourcePropertySet=
     AttributeInfo=resourceProperties(name,value)
     #DELETE=true
     #key = name
     
     #
     #Properties
     myPropName=myVal
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a J2EEResourceProperty 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 J2EE resource property.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the J2EE resource property to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a J2EEResourceProperty object using the extractConfigProperties command.

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

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

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

• Delete a J2EE resource property.

  To delete the entire J2EEResourceProperty 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]') 
  

Use the properties file to configure and manage the J2EEResourceProperty object.

What to do next
