Configures a network protocol. A protocol can be defined in one of the following ways according to its subelements:
http — Defines HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
protocol-chain-instance-handler — Defines a custom protocol as a chain of protocol-filter links.
port-unification — Defines a composite protocol, which can consist of several protocol definitions. Port unification makes it possible for a single network-listener to host several protocols at the same time. For example, HTTP and IIOP can work simultaneously on port 8080.
The following table describes subelements for the protocol element.
