Chapter 3. JOnAS Configuration 29
JOnAS can create WEB containers when the JOnAS server starts by providing the corresponding file
names via the
jonas.service.web.descriptors
property in the
jonas.properties
file.
Example:
jonas.service.web.descriptors Bank.war
In this example the WEB Container service creates a container from the WAR file named
Bank.war
.
It searches for this file in the
$JONAS_BASE/webapps/
directory.
By using
webapp
directories instead of packaging a new WAR file each time, you can improve the
development process. You can replace the classes with the new compiled classes, reload the servlets in
your browser, and immediately see the changes. This is also true for the JSPs. Note that these reload
features can be disabled in the configuration of the Tomcat web container at production time.
Example of using the
jonasAdmin/ webapp
directory instead of
jonasAdmin.war
.
1. In the
JONAS_BASE/webapps/autoload
directory, create a directory (for example,
jonasAdmin
):
JONAS_BASE/webapps/autoload/jonasAdmin
2. Move the
jonasAdmin.war
file to this directory.
3. Unpack the WAR file to the current directory, then remove the WAR file.
4. At the next JOnAS startup, the
webapp
directory is used instead of the WAR file. Change the
JSP and see the changes at the same time.
3.5.4. Configuring the WebServices Service
3.5.4.1. A. Choose a Web Service Engine
At this time, only one implementation for WebServices is available: the Axis implementation. But in
the future, a Glue implementation can be made easily.
In
jonas.properties
:
#...
# the fully qualifier name of the service class
jonas.service.ws.class org.objectweb.jonas.ws.AxisWSServiceImpl
#...
3.5.4.2. B. Choose One or More WSDL Handler(s)
WSDL Handlers are used to locate and publish all your WSDL documents. You can use several WSDL
Handlers as long as you define them in the
jonas.properties
file.
Example:
If you want to publish a WSDL into the local file system, use the FileWSDLHandler
In
jonas.properties
:
#...
# a list of comma separated WSDL Handlers
jonas.service.ws.wsdlhandlers file1
# Configuration of the file WSDL Handler
jonas.service.ws.file1.type file
# Make sure users who run JOnAS have read/write access in this directory
jonas.service.ws.file1.location /path/to/directory/where/store/wsdls
#...
