B wsadmin Command Reference for ADF Applications

This appendix describes the wsadmin commands you can use to deploy, manage, and configure Oracle ADF applications to IBM WebSphere Application Server.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Section B.1, "Overview of Custom wsadmin Commands for Oracle ADF"

• Section B.2, "ADF-Specific WebSphere Commands"

B.1 Overview of Custom wsadmin Commands for Oracle ADF

Use the ADF-based URL Connections wsadmin commands to navigate the hierarchy of configuration or runtime beans and control the prompt display. Use the getADFMArchiveConfig commands to manage the ADFMArchiveConfig object.

Each command must be qualified by the module name. For example, if the module is URLConnection.py, then the command can be invoked like this: URLConnection.createFileUrlConnection. An example for the module ADFAdmin.py would be ADFAdmin.getADFArchiveConfig.

B.2 ADF-Specific WebSphere Commands

Use the commands in Table B-1 to manage ADF applications. Invocation of wsadmin commands need to include the module name where the method is defined. For example, URLConnection.createFileURLConnection('myapp', 'tempDir', '/scratch/tmp').

B.2.5 getADFMArchiveConfig

Use with wsadmin: Online or Offline.

B.2.5.1 Description

Returns a handle to the ADFMArchiveConfig object for the specified archive. The returned ADFMArchiveConfig object's methods can be used to change application configuration in an archive.

The ADFMArchiveConfig object provides the following methods:

• setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder([value]) - Sets the Database jbo.SQLBuilder attribute.

• getDatabaseJboSQLBuilder() - Returns the current value of the jbo.SQLBuilder attribute.

• setDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass([value]) - Sets the Database jbo.SQLBuilderClass attribute.

• getDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass() - Returns the current value of the jbo.SQLBuilderClass attribute.

• setDefaultRowLimit([value]) - Sets the defaults rowLimit attribute. Value is a long specifying the row limit (Default -1).

• getDefaultRowLimit() - Returns the current value of the rowLimit attribute.

• save([toLocation]) - If you specify the toLocation, then the changes will be stored in the target archive file and the original file will remain unchanged. Otherwise, the changes will be saved in the original file itself.

B.2.5.2 Syntax

archiveConfigObject = ADFMAdmin.getADFMArchiveConfig(fromLocation)

Argument	Definition
fromLocation	The name of the ear file, including its complete path.

The syntax for setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder([value]) is:

archiveConfigObject.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder([value])

Argument	Definition
value	The value of the jbo.SQLBuilder attribute. Valid values are: 'Oracle' (Default), 'OLite', 'DB2', 'SQL92', 'SQLServer', or 'Custom. If 'Custom' is specified, then the jbo.SQLBuilderClass attribute should also be set.

The syntax for getDatabaseJboSQLBuilder() is:

archiveConfigObject.getDatabaseJboSQLBuilder()

The syntax for setDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass([value]) is:

archiveConfigObject.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass([value])

Argument	Definition
value	The value of the jbo.SQLBuilderClass attribute.

The syntax for getDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass() is:

archiveConfigObject.getDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass()

The syntax for setDefaultRowLimit([value])is:

archiveConfigObject.setDefaultRowLimit([value])

Argument	Definition
value	The value of the rowLimit attribute.

The syntax for getDefaultRowLimit() is:

archiveConfigObject.getDefaultRowLimit([value])

The syntax for save([toLocation]) is:

archiveConfigObject.save([toLocation])

Argument	Definition
toLocation	The file name along with the absolute path to store the changes.

B.2.5.3 Example

In the following example, if the adf-config.xml file in the archive does not have the application and shared metadata repositories defined, then you should provide the complete connection information.

# Open something.ear and return an object which can be used
# manipulate it
archive = ADFMAdmin.getADFMArchiveConfig('/path/to/something.ear')
 
# Return current JBO SQL Builder value
archive.getDatabaseJboSQLBuilder()
 
# Change JBO SQL Builder value to Oracle
archive.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder('Oracle')
 
# Save the changes back to the original file
archive.save() 

archive = ADFMAdmin.getADFMArchiveConfig('/path/to/something.ear')
archive.getDatabaseJboSQLBuilder() 

In the following example. the jbo.SQLBuilder attribute is set to 'DB2'.

wsadmin> archive =
               ADFMAdmin.getADFMArchiveConfig(fromLocation='/tmp/testArchive.ear')
wsadmin> archive.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder(value='DB2') 
wsadmin> archive.save() 

In the following example, the jbo.SQLBuilder attribute is removed so that application default is used.

wsadmin> archive =
              ADFMAdmin.getADFMArchiveConfig(fromLocation='/tmp/testArchive.ear')
wsadmin> archive.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder()
wsadmin> archive.save(toLocation='/tmp/targetArchive.ear')

In the following example, the jbo.SQLBuilder attribute is set to 'Custom', and the jbo.SQLBuilderClass attribute is set to the class 'com.example.CustomBuilder'.

wsadmin> archive =
              ADFMAdmin.getADFMArchiveConfig(fromLocation='/tmp/testArchive.ear')
wsadmin> archive.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilder('Custom') 
wsadmin> archive.setDatabaseJboSQLBuilderClass('com.example.CustomBuilder') 
wsadmin> archive.save(toLocation='/tmp/targetArchive.ear')

In the following example, the rowLimit attribute is set to 100.

wsadmin:/offline> archive = getADFMArchiveConfig(fromLocation='/tmp/testArchive.ear')
wsadmin:/offline> archive.setDefaultRowLimit(100)
wsadmin:/offline> archive.save(toLocation='/tmp/targetArchive.ear')
