Declaring Deployment Descriptors for Servlets/JSPs
Once you have inserted the components into the Web Application module, you are ready to declare the
deployment descriptors. For Web Applications, deployment descriptors are defined at the component
level (servlets/jsps) and at the module level using the Customizer
WebApp editor. The deployment descriptor declarations are written to a web.xml and
an ias-web.xml file in the \WEB-INF directory at the root web directory.
Note: You need to only declare deployment
descriptors for any servlets/jsps that a user can directly access. The iPlanet Application
Server Integration Tool creates a default deployment descriptor for each servlet/jsp in a module.
To declare deployment descriptors for servlets/jsps:
- Select the web.xml or ias-web.xml file of a web module.
- Right click and select Open using the iPlanet Customizer.
The WebApp Editor appears.
- Select the Servlet Descriptors tab.
- Declare the deployment descriptors as required:
- General - Specifies overall properties for a servlet
in the Web Application.
- iAS - Define iAS-specific options for the servlet according
to your targeted operational iAS environment.
- Init Params - Specifies initialization parameters
for a servlet in the web application.
- Security Role Refs - Identifies
any security roles that the servlet references in its code.
- iAS Params - Validates servlet parameters that you specify.
- iAS Param Groups - Creates groups of parameters to validate.
- Once you are satisfied with your declarations, select OK to write the deployment descriptor
declarations to the XML files.
