Use this page to view or change the configuration settings
for the web server plug-in configuration service.
New feature: This topic
references one or more of the application server log files. Beginning
in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 you can configure the
server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and
trace infrastructure instead of using
SystemOut.log ,
SystemErr.log,
trace.log, and
activity.log files or native z/OS logging
facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log
and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your
server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL
to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.

For IBM® i
and distributed platforms running in a Base or Express® environment, the application server's
SystemOut log contains the status of the automatic plug-in generation
and propagation.
The web server plug-in configuration service is selected by default.
The service automatically generates the plug-in configuration file
whenever the web server environment changes, with a few exceptions.
For example, the plug-in configuration file is regenerated whenever
one of the following activities occurs:
- A new application is deployed on an associated application server
- The web server definition is saved
- An application is removed from an associated application server
- A new virtual host is defined
In a base WebSphere® Application Server or WebSphere Application Server, Express configuration,
the plug-in configuration file does not regenerate when TCP channel
settings are updated for an application server.
In a base WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server, Express configuration,
whenever a virtual host definition is updated, the plug-in configuration
file is automatically regenerated for all of the web servers.
By default, this option is selected. Clear the field to disable
automated web server configuration processing.
