Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Upgrade Guide

HTTP Service to Network Service Changes

In GlassFish Server 3.0.1 and Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3, most HTTP Service settings are in the Network Service configuration that was introduced in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3.

The changes are described in the following sections.

Changes to Dotted Names

The dotted name hierarchy for the HTTP Service configuration in the v3 Prelude release is shown below. Elements that are no longer supported are request-processing, keep-alive, connection-pool, http-protocol, http-file-cache, and http-listener. During the upgrade process, these discontinued elements are remapped to the new configuration automatically and then deleted.


config
    http-service
        access-log
        request-processing
        keep-alive
        connection-pool
        http-protocol
        http-file-cache
        http-listener
            ssl 
            property
        virtual-server
            http-access-log
            property
        property
    thread-pools
        thread-pool

The dotted name hierarchy for the new Network Service and HTTP Service configurations is shown below. The network-config element and all its children are new except for ssl.


config
    network-config
        transports
            selection-key-handler
            transport
        protocols
            protocol
                http
                    file-cache
                port-unification
                    protocol-finder
                protocol-chain-instance-handler
                    protocol-chain
                protocol-filter
                ssl
        network-listeners
            network-listener
    http-service
        access-log
        virtual-server
            http-access-log
            property
        property
    thread-pools
        thread-pool

The following examples compare the commands for setting a listener port for Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude and GlassFish Server 3.0.1 or Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3.

Changes to asadmin Commands

To accommodate the move of HTTP Service into the new Network Service configuration, asadmin(1M) commands are changed as follows:

Remapping of HTTP Service Attributes and Properties

The following tables describe how attributes and properties in the HTTP Service configuration for v3 Prelude are remapped to attributes in the Network Service configuration for GlassFish Server 3.0.1 and Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3. If you use a configuration from a Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2 or v3 release, this remapping happens automatically and then discontinued elements are deleted.
