The PluginCfgGenerator Thread overwrites manual edits
Download Description
USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Application Server v4.0 users who are attempting to preserve
manually added global plugin-cfg.xml configuration attributes during the
regeneration of the WebSphere plugin-cfg.xml file.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Users may add global configuration parameters to the Config tag in the
plugin-cfg.xml file. When the plugin configuration is regenerated, the
manual changes to plugin-cfg.xml will be overwritten.
The WebSphere Plugins component constantly adds new global configuration
attributes. The Plugins component reads the new configuration values from
the plugin-cfg.xml file which must be manually edited by the user. The
user will make the edits to the Config element of the plugin-cfg.xml file.
However, regeneration of the plugin-cfg.xml file by WebSphere will
overwrite the changes the user has made to the Config element. The only
Config element attributes preserved during this process are a static list
of predefined attributes.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The PlugenRegen process will now transfer all attributes manually added by
the user to the new Config element tag. Now the Plugin component can add
an infinite amount of attributes and the Engine's regeneration of the
plugin-cfg.xml file will always preserve the global attributes specified
on the Config
tag.
