A Web container handles requests for servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and other types of files that include server-side code. The Web container creates servlet instances, loads and unloads servlets, creates and manages request and response objects, and performs other servlet management tasks. The Web server plug-ins, provided by the product, help supported Web servers to pass servlet requests to Web containers.
The 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:
Make the following configuration changes if you have a complex application:
Use this page to configure the Web container settings.
You can configure name-value pairs of data, where the name is a property key and the value is a string value that you can use to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property enables you to configure a setting beyond that which is available in the administrative console. The following is a list of some of the available Web container custom properties.
Use this page to configure an instance of Web module deployment.
Use this page to specify the context root for Web modules during or after installation of an application onto a WebSphere® Application Server deployment target.
Use this page to configure the environment entries of Web modules such as servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) files.

This topic provides usage examples of when you may want to disable servlet pooling. You may want to disable request and response pooling if your application is creating threads inside of the application or if you are concerned about the Web container reusing request and response objects.
You can configure name-value pairs of data, where the name is a property key and the value is a string value that you can use to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property enables you to configure a setting beyond what is available in the administrative console. The following is a list of the available JavaServer Pages custom properties. The JavaServer Pages custom properties are case sensitive.
