About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new custom property for a URL:

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newurl variable.
    • Using Jacl:

      set newurl [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/URL:URL1/]
    • Using Jython:
      newurl = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/URL:URL1/')
      print newurl
    Example output:
    URL1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URL_1)
  2. Create a J2EE resource property set:
    • Using Jacl:

      set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newurl propertySet]
    • Using Jython:
      propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newurl, 'propertySet') 
      print propSet
    Example output:
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_7)
  3. Identify the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
    Example output:
    Attribute     Type
    name         String
  4. Set up the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name RP3]
      set rpAttrs [list $name]
    • Using Jython:
      name = ['name', 'RP3']
      rpAttrs = [name]
  5. Create a J2EE resource property:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs)
    Example output:
    RP3(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_7)
  6. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
  7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
