Set up intermediary services using scripting

Use the wsadmin tool and the Jython scripting language to configure intermediary services, such as Web servers, proxy servers, and DataPower appliances.

Tasks

• Set up the DataPower appliance manager. Use the wsadmin tool to set up, query, and administer your DataPower appliance manager configurations. DataPower appliances are purpose-built, easy-to-deploy network devices that simplify, help secure, and accelerate your XML and web services deployments.
• Regenerate the node plug-in configuration. Use scripting and the wsadmin tool to regenerate the plug-in configuration for a web server.

• Create virtual hosts using templates. Use scripting to create a new virtual host from a new or preexisting template. Virtual hosts let you manage a single application server on a single machine as if the application server were multiple application servers each on their own host machine.
