The server.xml File
Table 3-14 shows the property list for the Host element.
Table 3-14. Property List for the Host Element (page 1 of 4)
Property Description Default Value
appBase The Application Base directory for this virtual host.
This is the pathname of a directory that might
contain web applications to be deployed on this
virtual host. You may specify an absolute pathname
for this directory, or a pathname that is relative to the
<NSJSP_HOME> directory.
webapps
autoDeploy This flag value indicates if new web applications,
dropped in to the appBase directory while NSJSP is
running, should be automatically deployed.
For more information, see autoDeploy
on page 3-64.
true
backgroundPro
cessorDelay
This value represents the delay in seconds between
the invocation of the backgroundProcess method
on this Host and on its child containers, including all
contexts. Child containers will not be invoked if their
delay value is not negative (which would mean they
are using their own processing thread). Setting this
to a positive value will cause a thread to be
spawned. After waiting the specified amount of time,
the thread will invoke the backgroundProcess
method on this host and all its child containers. A
host will use background processing to perform live
web application deployment related tasks. If not
specified, the default value for this property is -1,
which means the host will rely on the background
processing thread of its parent Engine.
copyXML This value when set to true indicates the you want a
context XML descriptor embedded inside the
application (located at /META-INF/context.xml)
to be copied to xmlBase when the application is
deployed. On subsequent starts, the copied context
XML descriptor is used in preference to any context
XML descriptor embedded inside the application
even if the descriptor embedded inside the
application is more recent.
The property copyXML is set to false by default. This
is done so that a context XML descriptor embedded
inside the application cannot be copied to xmlBase
when the application is deployed. This is done to
prevent an accidental modification of the contexts by
the admin feature.
Note: If set to false, the existing XML descriptor
embedded inside the application cannot be copied to
the xmlbase.
