You can change the HTTP plug-in configuration without having to
stop the server and start it again.
Why and when to perform this task
There are several change that you can make to the HTTP plug-in configuration
without stopping the server and starting it again. This file describes--
- Changing the application.xml file to change the context root
of a Web application archive (WAR file)
- Changing the web.xml file to add, remove, or modify a servlet
mapping
- Changing the server.xml file to add, remove, or modify an HTTP
transport or changing the virtualhost.xml file to add or remove a
virtual host or to add, remove, or modify a virtual host alias
Changing the application.xml file to change the context root of
a WAR file
- Change the application.xml file.
- If the plug-in configuration property Automatically propagate plug-in
configuration file is selected for this plug-in, it is automatically regenerated
whenever the application.xml file changes. (See Web server plug-in properties settings for information on how to set this property.)
You can also run the GenPluginCfg.bat/sh script, or issue a wsadmin command to regenerate the
plug-in configuration file.

If the Web application has file serving enabled
or has a servlet mapping of /, the plug-in configuration does not
have to be regenerated. In all other cases a regeneration is required.
