Configure custom properties for URLs using scripting

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new custom property for a URL:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newurl variable.

   • Using Jacl:

     set newurl [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/URL:URL1/]

   • Using Jython:

     newurl = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/URL:URL1/')
     print newurl

   Example output:

   URL1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URL_1)

2. Create a J2EE resource property set:

   • Using Jacl:

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newurl propertySet]

   • Using Jython:

     propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newurl, 'propertySet') 
     print propSet

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_7)

3. Identify the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type name         String

4. Set up the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name RP3]
     set rpAttrs [list $name]

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'RP3']
     rpAttrs = [name]

5. Create a J2EE resource property:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs)

   Example output:

   RP3(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_7)

6. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
