Installing NSAPI Plug-ins

To load new NSAPI plugins containing customized SAFs into the server, add an Init directive to magnus.conf to load the shared library file that defines the new SAFs. This directive must call the load-modules function, which takes the following arguments:

• shlib— The shared library to load.

• funcs— The functions to be made available to the server.

See the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 8 NSAPI Developer’s Guide for more information about the following topics:

• Directives in obj.conf and how they determine how the server handles requests

• NSAPI functions available for writing custom SAFs

• Writing custom SAFs

• Loading custom SAFs into Sun Java System Web Server by adding an Init directive to magnus.conf that calls load-modules

  For more information about the predefined SAFs that are included with Web Server, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 8 Administrator’s Configuration File Reference.
