Work with SOAP connector properties files

Use properties files to create or change SOAP connector properties.

Determine the changes to make to your SOAP connector 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.

Use a properties file to create, modify, or delete SOAP connector configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a SOAP connector, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Action	Procedure
create	Not available
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Not available
create Property	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete Property	Properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Tasks

• Create SOAP connector properties.

  1. Specify SOAPConnector properties in a properties file.

     Open an editor and specify SOAP connector properties under a server in a properties file. We can copy the following example properties file into an editor and modify the properties as needed for our situation. The example shows a SOAPConnector property with name myName and value myVal.

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=SOAPConnector
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:AdminService=:SOAPConnector=
     AttributeInfo=connectors
     #
     #Properties
     #
     enable=true #boolean,default(true)
     #
     
     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=SOAPConnector
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:AdminService=:SOAPConnector=
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
     #Properties
     #
     myName=myVal
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     serverName=myServer
     nodeName=WASNode04
     

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a SOAPConnector 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 existing SOAP connector properties.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the SOAP connector to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a SOAPConnector 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 the SOAP connector properties.

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

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

Use the properties file to configure and manage the SOAP connector.
