Chapter 5
Deployment Descriptor FilesThis chapter describes deployment descriptor files specific to the Sun Java System Application Server in the following sections:
Sun Java System Application Server DescriptorsSun Java System Application Server uses deployment descriptors in addition to the J2EE standard descriptors for configuring features specific to the Sun Java System Application Server. The sun-application.xml and sun-web.xml files are optional; all the others are required.
Each deployment descriptor (or XML) file has a corresponding or DTD file, which defines the elements, data, and attributes that the deployment descriptor file can contain. For example, the sun-application_1_4-0.dtd file defines the structure of the sun-application.xml file. All of the DTD files are located in the install_dir/lib/dtds directory.
Note
Do not edit the DTD files; their contents change only with new versions of Sun Java System Application Server.
For general information about DTD files and XML, see the XML specification at:
The following table lists the Sun Java System Application Server deployment descriptors and their DTD files.

Alphabetical Listing of All Elements
Aactivation-config
Specifies an activation configuration, which includes the runtime configuration properties of the message-driven bean in its operational environment. For example, this can include information about the name of a physical JMS destination. Matches and overrides the activation-config element in the ejb-jar.xml file.
Subelements
The following table describes subelements for the activation-config element.
activation-config-property
Specifies the name and value of an activation configuration property.
Subelements
The following table describes subelements for the activation-config-property element.
activation-config-property-name
Specifies the name of an activation configuration property.
Subelements
none - contains data
activation-config-property-value
Specifies the value of an activation configuration property.
Subelements
none - contains data
as-context
Specifies the authentication mechanism used to authenticate the client.
Subelements
The following table describes subelements for the as-context element.
auth-method
Specifies the authentication method.
If the parent element is as-context, the only supported value is USERNAME_PASSWORD.
If the parent element is login-config, specifies the authentication mechanism for the web service endpoint. As a prerequisite to gaining access to any web resources protected by an authorization constraint, a user must be authenticated using the configured mechanism.
Subelements
none - contains data
auth-realm
JAAS is available on the ACC. Defines the optional configuration for a JAAS authentication realm. Authentication realms require provider-specific properties, which vary depending on what a particular implementation needs. For more information about how to define realms, see “Realm Configuration” on page 44.
Subelements
The following table describes subelements for the auth-realm element.
Table 5-5 auth-realm subelement
Element
Required
Description
zero or more
Specifies a property, which has a name and a value.
Attributes
The following table describes attributes for the auth-realm element.
Table 5-6 auth-realm attributes
Attribute
Default
Description
name
none
Defines the name of this realm.
classname
none
Defines the Java class which implements this realm.
Example
Here is an example of the default file realm:
<auth-realm name="file" classname="com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm">
<property name="file" value="domain_dir/config/keyfile"/>
<property name="jaas-context" value="fileRealm"/>
</auth-realm>Which properties an auth-realm element uses depends on the value of the auth-realm element’s name attribute. The file realm uses file and jaas-context properties. Other realms use different properties. See “Realm Configuration” on page 44.
Bbean-cache
Specifies the entity bean cache properties. Used for entity beans and stateful session beans.
Subelements
The following table describes subelements for the bean-cache element.
Example
<bean-cache>

Property
Default
Description
reapIntervalSeconds
60
Specifies the number of seconds between checks for expired sessions.
If the persistence-type attribute of the session-manager element is file, sessions are passivated if maxSessions is exceeded.
To prevent data inconsistency, set this value lower than the frequency at which session data changes. For example, this value should be as low as possible (1 second) for a hit counter servlet on a frequently accessed website, or the last few hits might be lost each time the server is restarted.
maxSessions
-1
Specifies the maximum number of sessions that permitted in the cache, or -1 for no limit. After this, an attempt to create a new session causes an IllegalStateException to be thrown.
If the persistence-type attribute of the session-manager element is file, the session manager passivates sessions to the persistent store when this maximum is reached.
sessionFilename
none; state is not preserved across restarts
Specifies the absolute or relative path to the directory in which the session state is preserved between application restarts, if preserving the state is possible. A relative path is relative to the temporary directory for this web application.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
Subelements
none
Attributes
The following table describes attributes for the parameter-encoding element.
pass-by-reference
Specifies the passing method used by a servlet or enterprise bean calling a remote interface method in another bean that is co-located within the same process.
- If false (the default if this element is not present), this application uses pass-by-value semantics.
- If true, this application uses pass-by-reference semantics.
When a servlet or enterprise bean calls a remote interface method in another bean that is co-located within the same process, by default the Sun Java System Application Server makes copies of all the call parameters in order to preserve the pass-by-value semantics. This increases the call overhead and decreases performance.
However, if the calling method does not change the object being passed as a parameter, it is safe to pass the object itself without making a copy of it. To do this, set the pass-by-reference value to true.
The setting of this element in the sun-application.xml file applies to all EJB modules in the application. For an individually deployed EJB module, you can set the same element in the sun-ejb-jar.xml file. If pass-by-reference is used at both the bean and application level, the bean level takes precedence.

- Removed, when the pool-idle-timeout-in-seconds timer expires and a cleaner thread removes any unused instances.
- For caches, when max-cache-size is reached, resize-quantity beans are selected for passivation using the victim-selection-policy. In addition, the cache-idle-timeout-in-seconds or removal-timeout-in-seconds timers passivate beans from the cache.
- For pools, when the max-pool-size is reached, resize-quantity beans are selected for removal. In addition, the pool-idle-timeout-in-seconds timer removes beans until steady-pool-size is reached.

victim-selection-policy
Specifies how stateful session beans are selected for passivation. Possible values are First In, First Out (FIFO), Least Recently Used (LRU), Not Recently Used (NRU). The default value is NRU, which is actually pseudo-LRU.
The victims are generally passivated into a backup store (typically a file system or database). This store is cleaned during startup, and also by a periodic background process that removes idle entries as specified by removal-timeout-in-seconds. The backup store is monitored by a background thread (or sweeper thread) to remove unwanted entries.
Applies to stateful session beans.
