Configuring JBI Components

HTTP Binding Component Runtime Properties

The HTTP Binding Component's runtime properties can be configured from the NetBeans IDE, or from a command prompt (command line interface) during installation.

The HTTP Binding Component properties apply to the binding component as a whole, including all provider and consumer endpoints.

1.0 

Build Number 

Indicates the component build number.

Configuration Properties 

Default HTTP Port Number 

Specifies the default HTTP port number for the HTTP Binding Component instance. This property is required for clustering and allows each HTTP Binding Component to be differentiated by its unique default port number. A default port number is calculated and preassigned when the binding component is initially installed in the application server instance. A file containing the persisted configuration is stored for each component. This is used to assign a unique default port number for each HTTP Binding Component instance on a computer.  

Required 

8180 

Default HTTPS Port Number 

Specifies the default HTTP Secure port number for the HTTP Binding Component instance. This property is required for clustering and allows each HTTP Binding Component to be differentiated by its unique default port number. A default port number is calculated and preassigned when the binding component is initially installed in the application server instance. A file containing the persisted configuration is stored for each component. This is used to assign a unique default port number for each HTTP Binding Component instance on a computer.  

Required 

8280 

Sun Access Manager Configuration Directory 

Specifies the location of the Sun Access Manager configuration directory, which contains the Access Manager properties file. 

Optional 

 

ProxyType 

Specifies the proxy type as SOCKS, HTTP, or DIRECT. Enter one of the following String values: SOCKS 

The proxy server is a SOCKS (version 4 or version 5) server. HTTP 

The proxy is an HTTP proxy server. DIRECT 

The connection does not go through any proxy.  

Required 

SOCKS 

ProxyHost 

Specifies the proxy host name or IP address. 

Optional 

polaris.sun.com 

ProxyPort 

Specifies the proxy port number.  

Required 

2080 

NonProxyHosts 

Specifies the list of hosts that you do not want to go through the proxy. Each host is separated with a pipe "|". 

Optional 

localhost|127.0.0.4 

ProxyUserName 

Specifies the user name used to access the proxy server. For SOCKS-v4, no authentication is required. For SOCKS-v5, the binding component supports no authentication, and Username/Password authentication. For HTTP Proxy, the binding component supports Basic Authentication, Digest Access, and NTLM. Basic Authentication requires a specified username and password. Digest Access and NTLM require a dedicated proxy server for support.  

Required in some cases 

 

ProxyPassword 

Specifies the password used in conjunction with the the ProxyUserName to access the proxy server. For SOCKS-v4, no authentication is required. For SOCKS-v5, the binding component supports no authentication, and Username/Password authentication. For HTTP Proxy, the binding component supports Basic Authentication, Digest Access, and NTLM. Basic Authentication requires a specified username and password. Digest Access and NTLM require a dedicated proxy server for support.  

Required in some cases 

 

Use Default JVM Proxy Settings  

Indicates whether the HTTP Binding Component's proxy settings are specified by the existing JVM settings or by the HTTP Binding Component properties. The options indicate the following: true 

The proxy is controlled by the existing JVM system settings. The settings are outside of this binding component, so all additional proxy settings are ignored. false 

The proxy is controlled by the binding component proxy settings.  

Required 

false 

Application Configuration 

Specifies the values for a Composite Application's endpoint connectivity parameters (normally defined in the WSDL service extensibility elements), and apply these values to a user-named endpoint ConfigExtension Property. 

The Application Configuration property editor includes fields for all of the connectivity parameters that apply to that component's binding protocol. When you enter the name of a saved ConfigExtension and define the connectivity parameters in the Application Configuration editor, these values override the WSDL defined connectivity attributes when your project is deployed. To change these connectivity parameters again, you simply change the values in the Application Configuration editor, then shutdown and start your Service Assembly to apply the new values. 

Optional 

The user-defined name of the ConfigExtension you want and define, and the values for the connection parameters.

Application Variables 

Specifies a list of name:value pairs for a given stated type. The application variable name can be used as a token for a WSDL extensibility element attribute in a corresponding binding.  

The Application Variables configuration property offers four variable types:

  • String: Specifies a string value, such as a path or directory.

  • Number: Specifies a number value.

  • Boolean: Specifies a Boolean value.

  • Password: Specifies a password value.

Optional 

Enter the name value, such as PASSWORD, and enter the variable Value, such as SECRET.

For Boolean values, the Value field provides a checkbox (checked = true).

For Password values, the Value entered is masked as asterisks.

Statistics Properties 

Includes 19 different component activities: Activated Endpoints, Active Exchanges, Avg. Component Time, Avg. D.C. Time, Avg. Msg. Service Time, Avg. Response Time, Completed Exchanges, Error Exchanges, Received Dones, Received Errors, Received Faults, Received Replies, Received Requests, Sent Dones, Sent Errors, Sent Faults, Sent Replies, Sent Requests, Up Time. 

Lists component statistics that are collected for actions such as endpoints activated, average response time, completed exchanges, and so forth. Running statistics are automatically collected and displayed. 

Automatic 

240 

Loggers Properties 

Includes over 30 different component activities that can be recorded by the server.log. 

Specifies the level of logging for each event. There are eight levels of logging, FINEST (most detailed), FINER, FINE, CONFIG, INFO, WARNING, SEVERE (failure messages only), and OFF.  

Optional 

WARNING
