Editing the Global Deployment Descriptors 

Use

Use the editor tool that the Configuration Adapter Service provides to edit the global-web.xml or web-j2ee-engine.xml global descriptors.

Do not try to edit the global descriptors by opening them manually from your hard disk. This can cause disturbance of the proper functioning of the Web Container.

Procedure

Use the Visual Administrator tool to access the Configuration Adapter Service’s configuration editor:

...

       1.      Open the Display configuration tab of the Configuration Adapter Service running on server process.

       2.      Browse the Configurations tree: cluster_data  → server  → persistent  → servlet_jsp.

       3.      Select global-web.xml or web-j2ee-engine.xml (depending on which one you want to edit).

       4.      To switch from display to edit mode, choose  Switch between view and edit mode.

       5.      To lauch the editor for the selected descriptor, choose  Show the details of the selected node.

       6.      A Change file screen appears that displays the selected descriptor in text mode. You can use it to modify the descriptor.

       7.      To upload the modified descriptor to the database, choose  Upload.

       8.      To close the editor after you upload the modified descriptor to the database, choose OK.

Result

Now you have modified the global configurations defined in the global-web.xml or web-j2ee-engine.xml descriptors on the corresponding server process. However, if you are running the J2EE Engine in a cluster, you must repeat the above procedure for each server process to change the global configurations of the Web Container for the whole cluster.

You have to restart all your running applications after you modify the global web descriptors, so that the changes become active.
