General elements are as follows:

• SERVER

• DESCRIPTION

• VARS

SERVER

Defines a server. This is the root element. There can only be one server element in a server.xml file.

Subelements

The following table describes subelements for the SERVER element.

Table 2–2 SERVER Subelements

Element	Required	Description
VARS	zero or one	Defines variables that can be given values in server.xml and referenced in obj.conf
PROPERTY	zero or more	Specifies a property of the serve.
LS	one or more	Defines one or more HTTP listen sockets

Attributes

The following table describes attributes for the SERVER element.

Table 2–3 SERVER Attributes

Attribute	Default	Description
qosactive	no	Enables quality of service features, which let you set limits on server entities or view server statistics for bandwidth and connections. Allowed values are yes, no, on, off, true, false, 1 or 0.
qosmetricsinterval	30	(optional) The interval in seconds during which the traffic is measured.
qosrecomputeinterval	100	(optional) The period in milliseconds in which the bandwidth gets recomputed for all server entities.

PROPERTY

Specifies a property, or a variable that is defined in server.xml and referenced in obj.conf. For information about variables, see Variables.

For a list of variables commonly defined in server.xml, see "Variables Used in the Interface."

A property adds configuration information to its parent element that is one or both of the following:

• Optional with respect to Sun Java System Web Server

• Needed by a system or object that Sun Java System Web Server does not have knowledge of, such as an LDAP server or a Java class

  For example, an AUTHREALM element can include PROPERTY subelements:

  <AUTHREALM name="file"

  classname="com.iplanet.ias.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm">

  <PROPERTY name="file" value="instance_dir/config/keyfile>

  <PROPERTY name="jaas-context" value="fileRealm">

  </AUTHREALM>

  The properties that an AUTHREALM element uses depends on the value of the AUTHREALM element's name attribute. The file realm uses file and jaas-context properties. Other realms use different properties.
