Dotted Names and REST URLs of Configuration Attributes

The GlassFish Server administrative commands get(1), list(1), and set(1) locate a configuration attribute through the dotted name of the attribute. The dotted name of an attribute of a configuration element is as follows:

configs.config.server-config.element-name[.subelement-name...].attribute-name

element-name

The name of an element that contains a subelement or the attribute.

subelement-name

The name of a subelement, if any.

attribute-name

The name of the attribute.

For example, the dotted name of the foo attribute of the wombat-element element is as follows:

configs.config.server-config.wombat-container-config.wombat-element.foo

The formats of the URL to a REST resource that represent an attribute of a configuration element is as follows:

http://host:port/management/domain/path

host

The host where the DAS is running.

port

The HTTP port or HTTPS port for administration.

path

The path to the attribute. The path is the dotted name of the attribute in which each dot (.) is replaced with a slash (/).

For example, the URL to the REST resource for the foo attribute of the wombat-element element is as follows:

http://localhost:4848/management/domain/configs/config/server-config/
wombat-container-config/wombat-element/foo

In this example, the DAS is running on the local host and the HTTP port for administration is 4848.
