Payara Platform Deployment Descriptor Files

This appendix describes the element hierarchies in the Payara Platform deployment descriptors that are supported on top of the standard Jakarta EE deployment descriptors.

About the Payara Platform Deployment Descriptors

Each deployment descriptor XML file has a corresponding Document Type Definition (DTD) file, which defines the elements, data, and attributes that the deployment descriptor file can contain.

For example, the glassfish-application_6_0-1.dtd file defines the structure of the glassfish-application.xml file. The DTD files for the Payara Server deployment descriptors are located in the as-install/lib/dtds directory.

The Platform Server deployment descriptor files must be readable and writable by the file owners. In each deployment descriptor file, sub-elements must be defined in the order in which they are listed under each Sub-elements heading, unless otherwise noted.

For general information about DTD files and XML, see the XML specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.

Do not edit the DTD files; their contents change only with new versions of Payara Server.

The following table lists the Payara Platform deployment descriptors and their DTD files.

Table 1. Payara Platform Deployment Descriptors and DTDs
Deployment Descriptor	DTD File	Description
`glassfish-application.xml`	`glassfish-application_6_0-1.dtd`	Configures an entire Jakarta EE application (EAR file).
`glassfish-web.xml` `payara-web.xml`	`glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd`	Configures a web application (WAR file).
`glassfish-ejb-jar.xml`	`glassfish-ejb-jar_3_1-1.dtd`	Configures an enterprise bean (EJB JAR file).
`glassfish-application-client.xml`	`glassfish-application-client_6_0-1.dtd`	Configures an Application Client Container (ACC) client (JAR file).
`glassfish-resources.xml` `payara-resources.xml`	`glassfish-resources_1_5.dtd`	Configures application-scoped resources.
`sun-acc.xml`	`sun-application-client-container_1_2.dtd`	Configures the Application Client Container. This is more of a configuration file than a deployment descriptor. Payara Server provides a default file in the `domain-dir/config` directory. Specifying a different file is optional.
`sun-cmp-mappings.xml`	`sun-cmp-mapping_1_2.dtd`	Configures container-managed persistence for an EJB 2.0 or 2.1 entity bean.

Deployment descriptors whose names start with the glassfish- prefix are referred as "original" deployment descriptor files from Eclipse GlassFish, since these files names and DTDs were created while supporting Eclipse GlassFish and their support has been inherited by the Payara Platform.

The glassfish-application.xml File

The glassfish-application.xml file configures an entire Jakarta EE application (EAR file). The element hierarchy is as follows:

The sun-acc.xml File

The sun-acc.xml file configures the Application Client Container. This is more of a configuration file than a deployment descriptor.

Payara Server provides a default file in the domain-dir/config directory. Specifying a different file is optional. The element hierarchy is as follows:

client-container
.  target-server

.  .  security
.  .  .  ssl
.  .  .  cert-db
.  auth-realm

WebLogic Server Deployment Descriptor Support in Payara Server

Payara Server offers limited support for the weblogic-application.xml, weblogic.xml, and weblogic-webservices.xml deployment descriptor files.

The only element in weblogic-application.xml that Payara Server supports is security. The equivalent element in the glassfish-application.xml file is security-role-mapping.

The elements of weblogic.xml that Payara Server supports are explained in the following table.

Table 2. `weblogic.xml` Support in Payara Server
`weblogic.xml` Element Name	Payara Server Support
`role-name` under `security-role-assignment`	`role-name` under `security-role-mapping` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`principal-name` under `security-role-assignment`	`principal-name` under `security-role-mapping` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`resource-description`	`resource-ref` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent, but `resource-link` not supported
`resource-env-description`	`resource-env-ref` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent, but `resource-link` not supported
`ejb-reference-description`	`ejb-ref` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`service-reference-description`	`service-ref` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`timeout-secs` under `session-descriptor`	`timeoutSeconds` property of `session-properties` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`invalidation-interval-secs` under `session-descriptor`	`reapIntervalSeconds` property of `manager-properties` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`max-in-memory-sessions` under `session-descriptor`	`maxSessions` property of `manager-properties` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`persistent-store-dir` under `session-descriptor`	`directory` property of `store-properties` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`prefer-web-inf-classes` under `container-descriptor`	`delegate` attribute of `class-loader` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`context-root`	`context-root` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent
`cookies-enabled` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-name` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-path` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-domain` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-comment` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-secure` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-max-age-secs` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`cookie-http-only` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`url-rewriting-enabled` under `session-descriptor`	Servlet 3.0
`persistent-store-cookie-name` under `session-descriptor`	Cookie-based persistence is supported
`keepgenerated` under `jsp-descriptor`	keep generated init parameter of `JspServlet`
`working-dir` under `jsp-descriptor`	scratchdir init parameter of `JspServlet`
`compress-html-template` under `jsp-descriptor`	trimSpaces init parameter of `JspServlet`
`index-directory-enabled` under `container-descriptor`	listings init parameter of `DefaultServlet`
`index-directory-sort-by` under `container-descriptor`	sortedBy init parameter of `DefaultServlet`
`save-sessions-enabled` under `container-descriptor`	Same as `asadmin redeploy` `--keepstate=true` or `keep-state` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`run-as-principal-name` under `servlet-descriptor`	`principal-name` under `servlet` `glassfish-web.xml` equivalent

The elements of weblogic-webservices.xml that Payara Server supports are explained in the following table.

Table 3. `weblogic-webservices.xml` Support in Payara Server
`weblogic-webservices.xml` Element Name	Payara Server Support
`webservice-type`	Possible values are `JAXRPC` or `JAXWS`. Payara Server does not support JAX-RPC web services with Jakarta Web Services Metadata annotations. The use of this element is limited, because the container can find out if the type is JAX-WS or JAX-RPC based on presence of Jakarta Web Services Metadata annotations.
`wsdl-publish-file`	Same as `wsdl-publish-location` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`service-endpoint-address`	Similar to `endpoint-address-uri` in `glassfish-web.xml`, except that `webservice-contextpath` and `webservice-serviceuri` are specified separately
`j2ee:login-config`	Same as `login-config` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`j2ee:transport-guarantee`	Same as `transport-guarantee` in `glassfish-web.xml`
`exposed` under `wsdl`	Accepts `true` or `false`, defaults to `true`. Controls the publishing of WSDL to clients.
`stream-attachments`	Accepts `true` or `false`, defaults to `true`. Only for JAX-WS web services. Configures the JAX-WS runtime to send attachments in streaming fashion.
`validate-request`	Accepts `true` or `false`, defaults to `false`. Only for JAX-WS web services. Configures the JAX-WS runtime to validate that request messages are as the WSDL definitions specify.
`http-response-buffersize`	Property of `ReliabilityMessagingFeature` configuration, similar to `ReliableMessagingFeature.setDestinationBufferQuota()`
`reliability-config`	Partially supported. Sub-elements map to Metro’s `ReliabilityMessagingFeature`.
`inactivity-timeout` under `reliability-config`	Maps to `ReliableMessagingFeature.getSequenceInactivityTimeout()`
`base-retransmission-interval` under `reliability-config`	Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getMessageRetransmissionInterval()
retransmission-exponential-``backoff under `reliability-config`	Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getRetransmissionBackoffAlgorithm(). Returns enum values, one of them is `exponential`.
`acknowledgement-interval` under `reliability-config`	Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getAcknowledgementTransmissionInterval()
`sequence-expiration` under `reliability-config`	Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getSequenceInactivityTimeout(). In WebLogic Server this value applies regardless of activity. In Metro it applies only to inactive sequences.
`buffer-retry-count` under `reliability-config`	Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getMaxMessageRetransmissionCount()
`buffer-retry-delay` under `reliability-config`	Maps to ReliableMessagingFeature.``getMessageRetransmissionInterval()

Deployment Descriptor Precedence Order

When multiple vendor deployment descriptors are present in the same module (including deployment descriptors of the original Eclipse GlassFish and of the old Sun Application Server), the descriptors are processed with the following precedence order in default mode:

WebLogic Server > Payara Platform > Eclipse GlassFish Server > Sun Application Server

The default precedence order can be customized and configured via the system properties documented in the following sections.

`gfdd.over.wlsdd`

This system property controls the precedence between original GlassFish Server and WebLogic Server deployment descriptors when they are both present.

When the gfdd.over.wlsdd property is set to true, the descriptors are processed in this order:

Payara Platform > GlassFish Server > WebLogic Server > Sun Application Server

`ignore.wlsdd`

When the ignore.wlsdd property is set to true, the WebLogic Server deployment descriptors will be completely ignored and other descriptors will be processed in the following order:

GlassFish Server > Payara Platform > Sun Application Server
