About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new URL provider.

Procedure

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

      set node [$AdminConfig  getid  /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]
    • Using Jython:

      node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/')
      print node
    Example output:
    mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)
  2. Identify the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required URLProvider
    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.required('URLProvider')
    Example output:
    Attribute     Type
    streamHandlerClassName   String
    protocol       String
    name         String
  3. Set up the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name URLP1]
      set shcn [list streamHandlerClassName "Put the stream handler classname here"]
      set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"]
      set urlpAttrs [list $name $shcn $protocol]
      Example output:
      {name URLP1} {streamHandlerClassName {Put the stream handler classname here}} 
      {protocol {Put the protocol here}}
    • Using Jython:

      name = ['name', 'URLP1']
      shcn = ['streamHandlerClassName', "Put the stream handler classname here"]
      protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"]
      urlpAttrs = [name, shcn, protocol]
      print urlpAttrs
      Example output:
      [[name, URLP1], [streamHandlerClassName, "Put the stream handler classname here"],  
      [protocol, "Put the protocol here"]]
  4. Create a URL provider:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create URLProvider $node $urlpAttrs
    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.create('URLProvider', node, urlpAttrs)
    Example output:
    URLP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URLProvider_1)
  5. Save the configuration changes.
