XML files for HTTP session manager configuration


Sample files location

Sample WXS stand-alone XML files can be found in...

$WXS_HOME/ObjectGrid/session/samples

For WXS installed in a WAS cell, sample XML files can be found in....

was_root/optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid/session/samples

If you are configuring an embedded scenario, which means that the container server starts in the web container tier, the XML files are provided by default....

 You can update these files to customize the behavior of the HTTP session manager.

Remote XML package

When you are using the remote mode, where the containers run as standalone processes, use the objectGridStandAlone.xml and objectGridDeploymentStandAlone.xml files to start the processes. You can update these files to modify the configuration.
