| === Description |
| |
| The `create-virtual-server` subcommand creates the named virtual server. |
| Virtualization in the {productName} allows multiple URL domains to |
| be served by a single HTTP server process that is listening on multiple |
| host addresses. If the application is available at two virtual servers, |
| they still share the same physical resource pools. |
| |
| This subcommand is supported in remote mode only. |
| |
| [[sthref571]] |
| |
| === Options |
| |
| asadmin-options:: |
| Options for the `asadmin` utility. For information about these |
| options, see the link:asadmin.html#asadmin-1m[`asadmin`(1M)] help page. |
| `--help`:: |
| `-?`:: |
| Displays the help text for the subcommand. |
| `--hosts`:: |
| A comma-separated (,) list of values allowed in the host request |
| header to select the current virtual server. Each virtual server that |
| is configured to the same connection group must have a unique host for |
| that group. |
| `--httplisteners`:: |
| A comma-separated (,) list of HTTP listener IDs. Required only for a |
| virtual server that is not the default virtual server. HTTP listeners |
| are converted to network listeners. This option is deprecated but |
| maintained for backward compatibility. Use `--networklisteners` |
| instead. If `--networklisteners` is used, this option is ignored. |
| `--networklisteners`:: |
| A comma-separated (,) list of network listener IDs. Required only for |
| a virtual server that is not the default virtual server. |
| `--defaultwebmodule`:: |
| The standalone web module associated with this virtual server by |
| default. |
| `--state`:: |
| Determines whether a virtual server is active (`on`) or inactive |
| (`off` or disabled). Default is `on`. When inactive, the virtual |
| server does not service requests. |
| `--logfile`:: |
| Name of the file where log entries for this virtual server are to be |
| written. By default, this is the server log. The file and directory in |
| which the access log is kept must be writable by the user account |
| under which the server runs. |
| `--property`:: |
| Optional property name/value pairs for configuring the virtual server. |
| The following properties are available: |
| |
| `sso-max-inactive-seconds`;; |
| Specifies the number of seconds after which a user's single sign-on |
| record becomes eligible for purging if no client activity is |
| received. Since single sign-on applies across several applications |
| on the same virtual server, access to any of the applications keeps |
| the single sign-on record active. The default value is 300 seconds |
| (5 minutes). Higher values provide longer single sign-on persistence |
| for users, but at the expense of more memory use on the server. |
| `sso-reap-interval-seconds`;; |
| Specifies the number of seconds between purges of expired single |
| sign-on records. The default value is 60. |
| `setCacheControl`;; |
| Specifies a comma-separated list of `Cache-Control` response |
| directives. For a list of valid directives, see section 14.9 of the |
| document at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt |
| (`http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt`). |
| `allowLinking`;; |
| If the value of this property is `true`, resources that are symbolic |
| links will be served for all web applications deployed on this |
| virtual server. Individual web applications may override this |
| setting by using the property `allowLinking` under the `sun-web-app` |
| element in the `sun-web.xml` file: |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <sun-web-app> |
| <property name="allowLinking" value="[true|false]"/> |
| </sun-web-app> |
| ---- |
| + |
| The default value is `true`. |
| `accessLogWriteInterval`;; |
| Indicates the number of seconds before the log will be written to |
| the disk. The access log is written when the buffer is full or when |
| the interval expires. If the value is 0 (zero), then the buffer is |
| always written even if it is not full. This means that each time the |
| server is accessed, the log message is stored directly to the file. |
| `accessLogBufferSize`;; |
| Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer where access log calls |
| are stored. |
| `allowRemoteAddress`;; |
| This is a comma-separated list of regular expression patterns to |
| which the remote client's IP address is compared. If this property |
| is specified, the remote address must match for this request to be |
| accepted. If this property is not specified, all requests will be |
| accepted unless the remote address matches a `denyRemoteAddress` |
| pattern. The default value for this property is null. |
| `denyRemoteAddress`;; |
| This is a comma-separated list of regular expression patterns to |
| which the remote client's IP address is compared. If this property |
| is specified, the remote address must not match for this request to |
| be accepted. If this property is not specified, request acceptance |
| is governed solely by the `allowRemoteAddress` property. The default |
| value for this property is null. |
| `allowRemoteHost`;; |
| This is a comma-separated list of regular expression patterns to |
| which the remote client's host name (as returned by |
| `java.net.Socket.getInetAddress().getHostName()`) is compared. If |
| this property is specified, the remote host name must match for this |
| request to be accepted. If this property is not specified, all |
| requests will be accepted unless the remote host name matches a |
| denyRemoteHost pattern. The default value for this property is null. |
| `denyRemoteHost`;; |
| This is a comma-separated list of regular expression patterns to |
| which the remote client's host name (as returned by |
| `java.net.Socket.getInetAddress().getHostName()`) is compared. If |
| this property is specified, the remote host name must not match for |
| this request to be accepted. If this property is not specified, |
| request acceptance is governed solely by the `allowRemoteHost` |
| property. The default value for this property is null. |
| `authRealm`;; |
| Specifies the `name` attribute of an `auth-realm`, which overrides |
| the server instance's default realm for standalone web applications |
| deployed to this virtual server. A realm defined in a standalone web |
| application's `web.xml` file overrides the virtual server's realm. |
| `securePagesWithPragma`;; |
| Set this property to `false` to ensure that for all web applications |
| on this virtual server file downloads using SSL work properly in |
| Internet Explorer. + |
| You can set this property for a specific web application. For |
| details, see "link:application-deployment-guide/dd-elements.html#GSDPG00161[glassfish-web-app]" in {productName} Application Deployment Guide. |
| `contextXmlDefault`;; |
| Specifies the location, relative to domain-dir, of the `context.xml` |
| file for this virtual server, if one is used. For more information |
| about the `context.xml` file, see "link:application-development-guide/webapps.html#GSDVG00416[Using a |
| context.xml File]" in {productName} |
| Application Development Guide and The Context Container |
| (`http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html`). |
| Context parameters, environment entries, and resource definitions in |
| `context.xml` are supported in the {productName}. |
| `alternatedocroot_n`;; |
| Specifies an alternate document root (docroot), where n is a |
| positive integer that allows specification of more than one. |
| Alternate docroots allow web applications to serve requests for |
| certain resources from outside their own docroot, based on whether |
| those requests match one (or more) of the URI patterns of the web |
| application's alternate docroots. + |
| If a request matches an alternate docroot's URI pattern, it is |
| mapped to the alternate docroot by appending the request URI (minus |
| the web application's context root) to the alternate docroot's |
| physical location (directory). If a request matches multiple URI |
| patterns, the alternate docroot is determined according to the |
| following precedence order: |
| + |
| -- |
| * Exact match |
| * Longest path match |
| * Extension match |
| -- |
| + |
| For example, the following properties specify three alternate |
| docroots. The URI pattern of the first alternate docroot uses an |
| exact match, whereas the URI patterns of the second and third |
| alternate docroots use extension and longest path prefix matches, respectively. |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <property name="alternatedocroot_1" |
| value="from=/my.jpg dir=/srv/images/jpg"/> |
| <property name="alternatedocroot_2" |
| value="from=*.jpg dir=/srv/images/jpg"/> |
| <property name="alternatedocroot_3" |
| value="from=/jpg/* dir=/src/images"/> |
| ---- |
| + |
| The `value` of each alternate docroot has two components: The first |
| component, `from`, specifies the alternate docroot's URI pattern, |
| and the second component, `dir`, specifies the alternate docroot's |
| physical location (directory). Spaces are allowed in the `dir` |
| component. + |
| You can set this property for a specific web application. For |
| details, see "link:application-deployment-guide/dd-elements.html#GSDPG00161[glassfish-web-app]" in {productName} Application Deployment Guide. |
| `send-error_n`;; |
| Specifies custom error page mappings for the virtual server, which |
| are inherited by all web applications deployed on the virtual |
| server. A web application can override these custom error page |
| mappings in its `web.xml` deployment descriptor. The value of each |
| `send-error_n` property has three components, which may be specified |
| in any order: |
| + |
| -- |
| * The first component, `code`, specifies the three-digit HTTP response |
| status code for which the custom error page should be returned in |
| the response. |
| * The second component, `path`, specifies the absolute or relative |
| file system path of the custom error page. A relative file system |
| path is interpreted as relative to the domain-dir``/config`` |
| directory. |
| * The third component, `reason`, is optional and specifies the text of |
| the reason string (such as `Unauthorized` or `Forbidden`) to be |
| returned. |
| -- |
| For example: |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <property name="send-error_1" |
| value="code=401 path=/myhost/401.html reason=MY-401-REASON"/> |
| ---- |
| This example property definition causes the contents of |
| `/myhost/401.html` to be returned with 401 responses, along with |
| this response line: |
| + |
| [source] |
| ---- |
| HTTP/1.1 401 MY-401-REASON |
| ---- |
| |
| ``redirect_``n;; |
| Specifies that a request for an old URL is treated as a request for |
| a new URL. These properties are inherited by all web applications |
| deployed on the virtual server. The value of each `redirect_n` |
| property has two components, which may be specified in any order: |
| + |
| -- |
| * The first component, `from`, specifies the prefix of the requested URI to match. |
| * The second component, `url-prefix`, specifies the new URL prefix to |
| return to the client. The from prefix is simply replaced by this URL prefix. |
| -- |
| + |
| For example: |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <property name="redirect_1" value="from=/dummy url-prefix=http://etude"/> |
| ---- |
| |
| ``valve_``n;; |
| Specifies a fully qualified class name of a custom valve, where n is |
| a positive integer that allows specification of more than one. |
| The valve class must implement the `org.apache.catalina.Valve` interface |
| from Tomcat or previous {productName} releases, or the |
| `org.glassfish.web.valve.GlassFishValve` interface from the current |
| {productName} release. For example: |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <property name="valve_1" value="org.glassfish.extension.Valve"/> |
| ---- |
| + |
| You can set this property for a specific web application. For |
| details, see "link:application-deployment-guide/dd-elements.html#GSDPG00161[glassfish-web-app]" in {productName} Application Deployment Guide. |
| ``listener_n``;; |
| Specifies a fully qualified class name of a custom Catalina |
| listener, where n is a positive integer that allows specification of |
| more than one. The listener class must implement the |
| `org.apache.catalina.ContainerListener` or |
| `org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener` interface. For example: |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <property name="listener_1" |
| value="org.glassfish.extension.MyLifecycleListener"/> |
| ---- |
| + |
| You can set this property for a specific web application. For |
| details, see "link:application-deployment-guide/dd-elements.html#GSDPG00161[glassfish-web-app]" in {productName} Application Deployment Guide. |

| accessible using the `get`, `set`, and `list` subcommands. |
| `ssoCookieSecure`;; |
| Sets the `Secure` attribute of any `JSESSIONIDSSO` cookies |
| associated with the web applications deployed to this virtual |
| server. Deprecated. Replaced with a `virtual-server` attribute, |
| `sso-cookie-secure`, that is accessible using the `get`, `set`, and |
| `list` subcommands. |
| `errorReportValve`;; |
| Specifies a fully qualified class name of a custom valve that |
| produces default error pages for applications on this virtual |
| server. Specify an empty string to disable the default error page |
| mechanism for this virtual server. |
| |
| `--target`:: |
| Creates the virtual server only on the specified target. Valid values |
| are as follows: |
| |
