6.6.8.0: Web application properties

Attributes
Specifies servlet context attributes for the entire Web application.
  • property Name - A servlet parameter of your choice
  • property Value - The value associated with the property name

Note, the servlet context established by this property differs from the Shared Context, which pertains to clustering situations.

See the JSP administration overview for a description of attributes related to JSP reloading, available starting with Version 3.5.2.

Auto Reload
Specify whether to automatically reload servlets in the Web application when their class files change.

After specifying to Auto Reload, use the Reload Interval property to specify how often to check for updates.

Classpath
Specifies the classpath for the Web application.

Classpath in use
Specifies the classpath currently in use for the Web application.

Current State
Indicates the state the Web application is currently in. The next time it is started, it will try to change to its desired state setting.
Desired State
Indicates the state the Web application is in, according to the administrative server.

Description
Specifies a description of the Web application.

Document Root
Specifies the document root of the Web application.

Enabled
Indicates whether the servlet group (Web application) is available to handle requests.

Error Page New in Fix Pack 2 (changed)
Specifies mappings between error codes or exception types and the paths of resources in the Web application. Basically, defines what to display to the user in the event of a specific error.

Consists of:

  • Status Code or Exception - An HTTP error code (such as 404) or fully qualified class name of a Java exception type
  • Location - Location (in the Web application) of the error page to display when that status code or exception occurs

Example values:

  • Status Code: 404
  • Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
  • Location: /webapp/myapp/my404ErrorPage.jsp

The location is a "Web path," to use the terminology of the WebSphere Administrative Console.

Full Web Path in use
Specifies the URI by which the Web application can currently be located.
MIME Table New in Fix Pack 2
Specifies mappings between extensions and MIME types. Consists of:

  • Extension - Text string describing an extension, such as .txt
  • Type - The defined MIME type associated with the extension, such as text/plain

You can also specify MIME table parameters at the virtual host level, but the MIME table parameters you specify for a Web application take precedence (local scope).

Reload Interval

Specifies the interval between reloads of the web application.

Specify the value in seconds
