WebLogic Server Deployment Descriptor Support in GlassFish Server

GlassFish Server offers limited support for the weblogic-application.xml, weblogic.xml, and weblogic-webservices.xml deployment descriptor files.

The only element in weblogic-application.xml that GlassFish Server supports is security. The equivalent element in the glassfish-application.xml file is security-role-mapping.

The elements of weblogic.xml that GlassFish Server supports are explained in the following table.

The elements of weblogic-webservices.xml that GlassFish Server supports are explained in the following table.

Table B-3 weblogic-webservices.xml Support in GlassFish Server

`weblogic-webservices.xml` Element Name	GlassFish Server Support
`webservice-type`	Possible values are `JAXRPC` or `JAXWS`. GlassFish Server does not support JAX-RPC web services with JSR 181 annotations. The use of this element is limited, because the container can find out if the type is JAX-WS or JAX-RPC based on presence of JSR 181 annotations.
`wsdl-publish-file`	Same as `wsdl-publish-location` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`service-endpoint-address`	Similar to `endpoint-address-uri` in `glassfish-web.xml`, except that `webservice-contextpath` and `webservice-serviceuri` are specified separately
`j2ee:login-config`	Same as `login-config` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`j2ee:transport-guarantee`	Same as `transport-guarantee` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`exposed` under `wsdl`	Accepts `true` or `false`, defaults to `true`. Controls the publishing of WSDL to clients.
`stream-attachments`	Accepts `true` or `false`, defaults to `true`. Only for JAX-WS web services. Configures the JAX-WS runtime to send attachments in streaming fashion.
`validate-request`	Accepts `true` or `false`, defaults to `false`. Only for JAX-WS web services. Configures the JAX-WS runtime to validate that request messages are as the WSDL definitions specify.
`http-response-buffersize`	Property of `ReliabilityMessagingFeature` configuration, similar to `ReliableMessagingFeature.setDestinationBufferQuota()`
`reliability-config`	Partially supported. Subelements map to Metro's `ReliabilityMessagingFeature`.
`inactivity-timeout` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getSequenceInactivityTimeout()`
`base-retransmission-interval` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getMessageRetransmissionInterval()`
`retransmission-exponential-backoff` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getRetransmissionBackoffAlgorithm()`. Returns `enum` values, one of them is `exponential`.
`acknowledgement-interval` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getAcknowledgementTransmissionInterval()`
`sequence-expiration` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getSequenceInactivityTimeout()`. In WebLogic Server this value applies regardless of activity. In Metro it applies only to inactive sequences.
`buffer-retry-count` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getMaxMessageRetransmissionCount()`
`buffer-retry-delay` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getMessageRetransmissionInterval()`
