Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1 Upgrade Guide

Primary Key Attribute Values

In Application Server 8, it was possible to change any field (in the Admin Console) or attribute (in the Command Line Interface (CLI)). In Enterprise Server, a field or attribute that is the primary key of an item cannot be changed. However, an item can be deleted and then recreated with a new primary key value. In most cases, the primary key is a name, ID, reference, or JNDI name. The following table lists the primary keys that cannot be changed.

Note –

In the domain.xml file, a field or attribute is called an attribute, and an item is called an element. For more information about domain.xml, see the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1 Administration Reference.
