Editing the web.xml File

Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating Systems: All.

This task is part of the process Configuring Siebel Analytics Web Server.

If you are configuring a third-party Web integration (or HTTP) server to work with Siebel Analytics Web using the method Creating a WebARchive (WAR) File for Siebel Analytics Web, perform this task first, because the edited web.xml file is included in the generated analytics.war file.

You edit the web.xml file to reconfigure the Analytics Web server location and listening port if one of the following conditions is true for your deployment:

• The HTTP server and the Analytics Web server are running on different machines
• The Analytics Web server is configured to use a different TCP/IP port from the default (9710)

CAUTION:  Make sure that XML syntax is strictly followed when editing this file. Any XML syntax errors may result in your virtual server failing to start.

In the web.xml file, the XML elements that configure the SAWBridge servlet are shown in the following excerpt:

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>SAWBridge</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWBridge</servlet-class>
          <init-param>
              <param-name>com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWServer.Host</param-name>
              <param-value>localhost</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <init-param>
              <param-name>com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWServer.Port</param-name>
              <param-value>9710</param-value>
          </init-param>
</servlet>

To edit the web.xml file

1. Using a text file, open the web.xml file, located in the $INSTALLDIR/web/app/WEB-INF directory.
2. Change the values of the following <param-name> parameters to reflect the correct settings:
   • com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWBridge
   • com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWServer.Port
3. Save and close the web.xml file.
