B GlassFish Server Deployment Descriptor Files

This appendix describes the element hierarchies in the GlassFish Server deployment descriptors that are included in this release of the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition software.

The following topics are addressed here:

About the GlassFish Server Deployment Descriptors

Each deployment descriptor XML file has a corresponding Document Type Definition (DTD) file, which defines the elements, data, and attributes that the deployment descriptor file can contain. For example, the glassfish-application_6_0-1.dtd file defines the structure of the glassfish-application.xml file. The DTD files for the GlassFish Server deployment descriptors are located in the as-install`/lib/dtds` directory.

The GlassFish Server deployment descriptor files must be readable and writable by the file owners. In each deployment descriptor file, subelements must be defined in the order in which they are listed under each Subelements heading, unless otherwise noted. For general information about DTD files and XML, see the XML specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.

Note

Do not edit the DTD files; their contents change only with new versions of GlassFish Server.

The following table lists the GlassFish Server deployment descriptors and their DTD files.

Table B-1 GlassFish Server Deployment Descriptors and DTDs

Deployment Descriptor DTD File Description

glassfish-application.xml

glassfish-application_6_0-1.dtd

Configures an entire Java EE application (EAR file).

glassfish-web.xml

glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd

Configures a web application (WAR file).

glassfish-ejb-jar.xml

glassfish-ejb-jar_3_1-1.dtd

Configures an enterprise bean (EJB JAR file).

sun-cmp-mappings.xml

sun-cmp-mapping_1_2.dtd

Configures container-managed persistence for an EJB 2.0 or 2.1 entity bean.

glassfish-application-client.xml

glassfish-application-client_6_0-1.dtd

Configures an Application Client Container (ACC) client (JAR file).

sun-acc.xml

sun-application-client-container_1_2.dtd

Configures the Application Client Container. This is more of a configuration file than a deployment descriptor. GlassFish Server provides a default file in the domain-dir`/config` directory. Specifying a different file is optional.

glassfish-resources.xml

glassfish-resources_1_5.dtd

Configures application-scoped resources.
Note

The sun-application.xml, sun-web.xml, sun-ejb-jar.xml, sun-application-client.xml, and sun-resources.xml deployment descriptors are supported for backward compatibility.

The glassfish-application.xml File

The glassfish-application.xml file configures an entire Java EE application (EAR file). The element hierarchy is as follows:

Note

If any configuration information for an enterprise bean is not specified in the glassfish-ejb-jar.xml file, it defaults to a corresponding setting in the EJB container if an equivalency exists.

Here is a sample glassfish-ejb-jar.xml file:

The sun-cmp-mappings.xml File

The sun-cmp-mappings.xml file configures container-managed persistence for an EJB 2.0 or 2.1 entity bean. The element hierarchy is as follows:

   NAME varchar2(120) null,
   CITY char(30) not null,
   LEAGUEEJB_LEAGUEID varchar2(256) null,

create table LEAGUEEJB (
   LEAGUEID varchar2(256) not null,
   NAME varchar2(256) null,

   references PLAYEREJB (PLAYERID)

alter table PLAYEREJBTEAMEJB
   add constraint FK_PLAYERS foreign key (TEAMEJB_TEAMID)
   references TEAMEJB (TEAMID)

The sun-acc.xml File

The sun-acc.xml file configures the Application Client Container. This is more of a configuration file than a deployment descriptor. GlassFish Server provides a default file in the domain-dir`/config` directory. Specifying a different file is optional. The element hierarchy is as follows:

client-container
.  target-server
.  .  description
.  .  security
.  .  .  ssl

.  .  .  response-policy
.  .  .  property (with attributes)

The glassfish-resources.xml File

The glassfish-resources.xml file configures application-scoped resources. The element hierarchy is as follows:

WebLogic Server Deployment Descriptor Support in GlassFish Server

GlassFish Server offers limited support for the weblogic-application.xml, weblogic.xml, and weblogic-webservices.xml deployment descriptor files.

The only element in weblogic-application.xml that GlassFish Server supports is security. The equivalent element in the glassfish-application.xml file is security-role-mapping.

The elements of weblogic.xml that GlassFish Server supports are explained in the following table.

The elements of weblogic-webservices.xml that GlassFish Server supports are explained in the following table.

Table B-3 weblogic-webservices.xml Support in GlassFish Server

weblogic-webservices.xml Element Name GlassFish Server Support

webservice-type

Possible values are JAXRPC or JAXWS. GlassFish Server does not support JAX-RPC web services with JSR 181 annotations. The use of this element is limited, because the container can find out if the type is JAX-WS or JAX-RPC based on presence of JSR 181 annotations.

wsdl-publish-file

Same as wsdl-publish-location in glassfish-web.xml

service-endpoint-address

Similar to endpoint-address-uri in glassfish-web.xml, except that webservice-contextpath and webservice-serviceuri are specified separately

j2ee:login-config

Same as login-config in glassfish-web.xml

j2ee:transport-guarantee

Same as transport-guarantee in glassfish-web.xml

exposed under wsdl

Accepts true or false, defaults to true. Controls the publishing of WSDL to clients.

stream-attachments

Accepts true or false, defaults to true. Only for JAX-WS web services. Configures the JAX-WS runtime to send attachments in streaming fashion.

validate-request

Accepts true or false, defaults to false. Only for JAX-WS web services. Configures the JAX-WS runtime to validate that request messages are as the WSDL definitions specify.

http-response-buffersize

Property of ReliabilityMessagingFeature configuration, similar to ReliableMessagingFeature.setDestinationBufferQuota()

reliability-config

Partially supported. Subelements map to Metro’s ReliabilityMessagingFeature.

inactivity-timeout under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.getSequenceInactivityTimeout()

base-retransmission-interval under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getMessageRetransmissionInterval()

retransmission-exponential-``backoff under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getRetransmissionBackoffAlgorithm(). Returns enum values, one of them is exponential.

acknowledgement-interval under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getAcknowledgementTransmissionInterval()

sequence-expiration under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getSequenceInactivityTimeout(). In WebLogic Server this value applies regardless of activity. In Metro it applies only to inactive sequences.

buffer-retry-count under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getMaxMessageRetransmissionCount()

buffer-retry-delay under reliability-config

Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getMessageRetransmissionInterval()
