File Formats

In Application Server 8.2, domain.xml is the main server configuration file. In Application Server 7, the main server configuration file was server.xml. The DTD file of domain.xml is found in lib/dtds/sun-domain_1_1.dtd. The upgrade tool included in Application Server 8.2 can be used to migrate the server.xml from Application Server 7 to domain.xml for Application Server 8.2.

The lib/dtds/sun-domain_1_1.dtd file for Application Server 8.2 is fully backward compatible with the corresponding file for Application Server 8, sun-domain_1_0.dtd.

In general, the configuration file formats are not backward compatible. The following configuration files are not supported:

• *.conf

• *.acl

• mime.types

• server.xml (replaced with domain.xml)
