Considerations for Configuring the Properties of the Host Element
It is important to understand the effect of the autoDeploy, unpackWARs and
deployXML properties with regard to the security of the NSJSP servlet container
and application resources.
autoDeploy
Setting autoDeploy to true could result in the redeployment of an entire
application, if any changes are made to watched application resources. For more
information on watched application resources, see WatchedResource
on
page 3-76. Setting autodeploy to false will prevent any changes made to the
deployed application from affecting the running application. The basic premise is
that, unless a change is propagated through an authorized entry point, such as the
workDir The pathname to a scratch directory to be used by
applications for this Host. Each application will have
its own subdirectory with temporary read-write use.
Configuring a context workDir will override the use
of the Host workDir configuration. This directory
can be made visible to servlets in a web application
by configuring a servlet context property (of type
java.io.File) named
javax.servlet.context.tempdir as described
in the Servlet Specification. If not specified, a
suitable directory below <NSJSP7.0
Installation Directory>/work will be
provided.
xmlBase The XML Base directory for this virtual host. This is
the pathname of a directory that may contain context
XML descriptors to be deployed on this virtual host.
You may specify an absolute pathname for this
directory, or a pathname that is relative to the
$CATALINA_BASE directory. If not specified the
default of [engine_name]/[host_name] is used.
HP recommends you not to set the value for this
parameter if you are not sure. The Admin application
looks for contexts in the xmlBase to decide if a
context can be modified or not.
configClass For NSJSP the value of this property must be
com.tandem.servlet.catalina.startup.NS
JSPContextConfig
com.tandem
.servlet.c
atalina.st
artup.NSJS
