Why and when to perform this taskThe Web container is created initially with default properties values suitable for simple Web applications. However, these values might not be appropriate for more complex Web applications.

Your application is considered complex if it requires any of the following features:

• Virtual host

• Servlet caching

• Special client request loads

• Persistent HTTP session support

• Special HTTP transport settings

• Transaction class mappings

Make the following configuration changes if you have a complex application:

1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Application servers > server_name. Then under Web container settings, click on one of the following:

   1. Web container , if your Web application requires a virtual host, other than the default_host, or requires servlet caching.

   2. Web container transport chains , if you need to reconfigure your HTTP connections.

   3. Session management , if your application requires persistent HTTP session support.

2. If your application handles special client request loads, in the administrative console, click Servers > Application servers > server_name. Then under Additional Properties, click Thread Pools to modify your thread pool settings.

3. If your application requires global settings for internal servlets for WAR files packaged by third-party tools, iIn the administrative console, click Servers > Application servers > server_name > Web container settings > Web container . Then under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties and enter the appropriate custom property.
