Error description
Customers using the latest release of the plugin that work against an older application server need a way to generate the newer properties for the plugin-cfg.xml file.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Plugin generation for a mixed * * environment can't generate the * * necessary property. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Customers may be running the latest Plugin binary against an older WebSphere Application Server backend. For example, IBM HTTP Server/Plugin V8.5.5 to WebSphere Application Server V7.0. As updates are made to plugin binary, the older WebSphere Application Server plugin generation is unable to create an XML that contains a required property.
Problem conclusion
The application centric plugin generation has been updated to allow customers to specify custom properties that will be recognized by the plugin generation. These new properties require a recognizable prefix key that the generation will strip off prior to applying to the XML. The new properties need to be set at either the Webservers > [webserver name] > plugin properties > custom properties page using the prefix of "PLG.Config.", or Applicaion Servers > [server name] > "Administration" > Custom Properties page using the prefix of "PLG.Cluster." or "PLG.Server.". NOTE 1: All servers within a cluster need to have the properties specified. NOTE 2: Make sure spelling and casing of the property are correct. If it is wrong, the plugin binary will not recognize the new property from the XML. NOTE 3: You can not use a name of an existing property that the current Plugin generation will already include like "ChunkedResponse". Plugin generation already produces a property with this name. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 7.0.0.41, 8.0.0.13 and 8.5.5.10.
