Example: Configuring applications for session management using the wsadmin tool

Use the AdminApp object to set configurations in an application. Some configuration settings are not available through the AdminApp object. This example uses the AdminConfig object to configure session manager for the application.

• Identify the deployment configuration object for the application and assign it to the deployment variable:

  set deployment [$AdminConfig getid /Deployment:myApp/]

  Example output:

  myApp(cells/mycell/applications/myApp.ear/deployments/myApp:deployment.xml#Deployment_1)

• Retrieve the applicaton deployment and assign it to the appDeploy variable:

  set appDeploy [$AdminConfig showAttribute $deployment deployedObject]

  Example output:

  (cells/mycell/applications/myApp.ear/deployments/myApp:deployment.xml#ApplicationDeployment_1)

• To obtain a list of attributes you can set for session manager, use the attributes command:

  $AdminConfig attributes SessionManager

  Example output:

  "accessSessionOnTimeout Boolean"
  "allowSerializedSessionAccess Boolean"
  "context ServiceContext@"
  "defaultCookieSettings Cookie"
  "enable Boolean"
  "enableCookies Boolean"
  "enableProtocolSwitchRewriting Boolean"
  "enableSSLTracking Boolean"
  "enableSecurityIntegration Boolean"
  "enableUrlRewriting Boolean"
  "maxWaitTime Integer"
  "properties Property(TypedProperty)*"
  "sessionDRSPersistence DRSSettings"
  "sessionDatabasePersistence SessionDatabasePersistence"
  "sessionPersistenceMode ENUM(DATABASE, DATA_REPLICATION, NONE)"
  "tuningParams TuningParams"

• Set up the attributes for the session manager:

  set attr1 [list enableSecurityIntegration true]
  set attr2 [list maxWaitTime 30]
  set attr3 [list sessionPersistenceMode NONE]
  set attrs [list $attr1 $attr2 $attr3]
  set sessionMgr [list sessionManagement $attrs]
  

  This example sets three top level attributes in the session manager. You can modify the example to set other attributes of session manager including the nested attributes in Cookie, DRSSettings, SessionDataPersistence, and TuningParms object types. To list the attributes for those object types, use the attribute command in AdminConfig object.

  Example output:

  sessionManagement {{enableSecurityIntegration true} {maxWaitTime 30} {sessionPersistenceMode NONE}}

• Create the session manager for the application:

  $AdminConfig create ApplicationConfig $appDeploy [list $sessionMgr]

  Example output:

  (cells/mycell/applications/myApp.ear/deployments/myApp:deployment.xml#ApplicationConfig_1)

• Save the changes with the following command:

  $AdminConfig save
