Default Values

In this manual, the term default is used in its broader sense, and not in the specific way it is used in the XML 1.0 standard. A default value is an initial value or the value used if no value is present in the XML file. A default value can be any of the following:

• A value supplied by the XML parser when no value is found in the domain.xml file. The relevant element or attribute is optional.

• A value supplied by the Application Server when no value is found in the domain.xml file and the XML parser doesn’t provide a value. The relevant element or attribute is optional.

• An initial value supplied when the domain.xml file is created. The relevant element or attribute might or might not be optional.

When a required attribute or property has a default, this default is supplied when the domain.xml file is created.
