This chapter summarizes major configuration file changes between the 4.1 and the 6.1 version of Sun Java System Web Server. The following 4.1 files are described:

magnus.conf

The following table summarizes the changes in magnus.conf:

(none)	`RqThrottleMin`	New. Specifies the number of request processing threads that are created when the server is started.
ServerID	(none)	Deprecated.
`ServerName`	(none)	Deprecated. See the `servername` attribute of the LS element in the `server.xml` file.

`SSLClientAuth`	clientauth	See the `clientauth` attribute of the SSLPARAMS element in `server.xml`
`VirtualServerFile`	(none)	Obsolete due to virtual server implementation

obj.conf

The obj.conf file has lost its Init directives to the magnus.conf file and acquired new directives and parameters. The following table summarizes the changes in the obj.conf file. Only the changed directives are listed.

Table A–2 obj.conf Changes


4.x Directive	6.1 Directive	Comments
Init functions	(none)	All functions have moved to `magnus.conf` except for `cache-init` and `load-types`, which are obsolete (for `load-types`, see the `MIME` element in the `server.xml` file).
`Service fn=parse-html`	`Service fn=shtml_send`

contexts.properties

The contexts.properties file is no longer supported. Servlet contexts or web applications are now defined in the server.xml file and configured using the sun-web.xml file.

A few contexts.properties functions are now in the server.xml file.

The following table lists the equivalent functions in the contexts.properties and sun-web.xml files.

Table A–3 contexts.properties to sun-web.xml Correspondences


contexts.properties Property	sun-web.xml Element or Attribute	Comments
`sessionmgr`	`persistence-type` attribute of the `session-manager` element
`sessionmgr.initArgs`	`manager-properties` and `store-properties` attributes of the `session-manager` element
`initArgs`	(none)	Specified using the `context-param` element in `web.xml`. For more information, see Servlet 2.3 specification. To add context attributes, implement the `javax.servlet.ServletContextListener` interface. For more information, see to the Servlet 2.3 specification.
`respondCookieVersion`	(none)	Might be supported in a future release.
`tempDir`	`tempdir` property
`reloadInterval`	`dynamic-reload-interval` attribute of `class-loader` element
`bufferSize`	(none)	Specified using the `UseOutputStreamSize` in `obj.conf`. for more information, see service-j2ee for more information.
`docRoot`	(none)	Specified in the `server.xml` file for each virtual server.
`inputStreamLengthCheck`	(none)	Obsolete.
`outputStreamFlushTimer`	(none)	Obsolete.
`uri`	`uri` attribute of `WEBAPP` element in `server.xml.`
`authdb`	`authdb` attribute of `auth-native` element	Obsolete.
`classpath`	`extra-class-path` attribute of `class-loader` element
`singleClassLoader`	(none)	Obsolete because each web application has a single class loader as mandated by the Servlet 2.3 specification.
`serverName`	(none)	Specified in the `server.xml` file for each virtual server.
`contentTypeIgnoreFromSSI`	(none)	Obsolete due to web application support.
`parameterEncoding`	`parameter-encoding` element
`isModifiedCheckAggressive`	(none)	Obsolete.
`includeTransparency`	(none)	Obsolete.

rules.properties

The rules.properties file is no longer supported in Sun Java System Web Server 6.1. The function of the rules.properties file is now handled by the servlet-mapping element in the web.xml file. For more information, see the Servlet 2.3 API specification at:

http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.jsp

servlets.properties

The servlets.properties file is no longer supported for the default virtual server and other virtual servers. Most of the same functions are in the sun-web.xml file.

A few servlets.properties functions are in the server.xml file.

A few servlets.properties functions are in the web.xml file. For more information, see the Servlet 2.3 API specification at:

http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.jsp

The following table lists the equivalent functions in the servlets.properties and sun-web.xml files.

Table A–4 servlets.properties to sun-web.xml Correspondences for Individual Servlet Properties


servlets.properties Property	sun-web.xml Element or Attribute	Comments
`code`	(none)	Specified in a `servlet-class` element in the `web.xml` file.
`context`	(none)	Obsolete because servlets are hosted within a web application which is deployed at the URI specified as the value of the `uri` attribute of the WEBAPP element in `server.xml`.
`classpath`	(none)	The Servlet 2.3 specification specifies that servlet classes be packaged in the WEB-INF/classes directory or in .jar archives in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
`initArgs`	(none)	Use the `init-param` element of the `<servlet>` tag in `web.xml` to specify servlet-specific initialization parameters.
`startup`	(none)	Specified in a `load-on-startup` element in the `web.xml` file.
