Configuration document descriptions
Most configuration documents have XML content. The table describes the documents and states whether you can edit them using an administrative tool or must edit them directly.
If possible, edit a configuration document using the console because it validates any changes that you make to configurations. You can also use one of the other administrative tools (wsadmin or Java APIs) to modify configuration documents. Using the console or wsadmin scripting to update configurations is less error prone and likely quicker and easier than other methods.
Files that need to be editted manually are marked with an M.
