Tasks and extension points for custom code
You can use the following tasks and extension points when you create custom code to work with the ConfigEngine framework.
Common Properties
These attributes are a reflection of similar attributes present on the WsAdmin task. Not all attributes on the WsAdmin task are used and some have a restricted range of values. None of these values are written into the dynamic profile.
Attribute | Description | Required | Scope |
---|---|---|---|
wasuser | Contains the user ID to authenticate with the server. | Yes | Global |
waspassword | Contains the password that is associated with the wasuser user ID to authenticate with the server. | Yes | Global |
conntype | Specifies the type of server connection. The
following values are allowed:
|
No | Global |
properties | Java properties file containing attributes to set in the JVM System properties. The default is ${EngineInstallLocation}/config/work/was/jacl.properties. | No | Global |
script | Provides the location of the deployment script file. This file contains a set
of commands to be passed to the WsAdmin script processor. Set the
lang attribute to determine the script processor. If not specified, each deployment task assigns a default script location. It is built from the home directory of the configuration engine and a name specific to the task. For example, wplc_deployEar. Refer to the individual task for this name. Set the lang attribute to determine the file extension. |
No | Global |
lang | Contains the language to be used to interpret
scripts. The supported values are as follows:
|
No | Global |
Framework-specific Attributes
Attribute | Description | Required | Scope |
---|---|---|---|
engineinstalllocation | The location of the configuration engine home directory. This location is used as the root when you construct many of the default locations. It defaults to the setting of the Ant property: engineInstallLocation. | No | Global |
engineinstalllocation | The location of a deployment file that contains some or all of the deployment attributes of the targeted resource. This file is an XML file whose syntax mirrors that of the Ant task that references the file. | No | not applicable |
Embedded Markup Tag
- Comment markup tag
- Use the comment markup tag to embed a comment into a task value. The comment text is displayed during the task output trace, which is enclosed by parentheses. It is not included in the value that is passed to the task execution. Use <c> or <comment> to begin a comment. This tag has no attributes.
- Default markup tag
- Use the default markup tag to force a default value for a task
value. The default is chosen if the target value resolves to an empty
string. Otherwise, it is ignored. Use <d> or <default> to delimit
text that is defaulted. This tag has the following single attribute:
- value: The default value. This attribute is required.
<lower>
markup tag- Use the lower markup tag to force text to lowercase. Use
<l>
or<lower>
to delimit lowercase text. This tag has no attributes. - Password markup tag
- Use the password markup tag to indicate a portion of text that is to remain hidden (or obscured)
whenever the text value is logged. Use
<p>
,<pw>
, or<password>
to indicate the beginning of password text. This tag has no attributes. The default is to substitute the string, PASSWORD_REMOVED, for the text value during logging. You can override this value with the log attribute.- log: The value that is substituted for the real password during logging of the task. Defaults to PASSWORD_REMOVED. This attribute is not required.
- Upper markup tag
- Use the upper markup tag to force text to uppercase. Use
<u>
or<upper>
to delimit uppercase text. This tag has no attributes. - Examples
- The following example illustrates the use for each of the supported tags. The last instance
embeds an undefined tag. This tag causes the parsing to stop and results in a value that is
unchanged.
<wplc-create-variable server="server" node="node" wasuser="${WasUserid}" waspassword="${WasPassword}" testbeanclass="com.ibm.wplc.deploy.tasks.impl.TestAdminBeanImpl"> <resource name="r1" value="<cValue for r1</>v1"/> <resource name="r2" value="<dvalue="xxx"> </>"/> <resource name="r3" value="<u>uPpEr</u>"/> <resource name="r4" value="<l>LoWeR</l>"/> <resource name="r5" value="<p>password</p>"/> <resource name="r6" value="<p log="SECRET">password</p>"/> <resource name="r7" value="<undefined attr="Attribute">password</undefined>"/> </wplc-create-variable>

how other parameters are passed into the WsAdmin script file.
However, in this situation, the full set of options are assembled into a string corresponding to the
syntax of the scripting language.
Do not code parameters that are included as attributes on the task as options. Use the corresponding attribute to avoid redundancy and to prevent runtime exception during the task parsing.
The syntax of the nested option element allows for the following three formats: keyword only, keyword/value pairing, or keyword with value list.- key: The name of the option
- value: The value of the option. If no value is present and the option does not contain nested value elements, then this key does not take a value.
If a keyword can take a list of values, then a single nested value element is used for each value in the list.Table 4. Examples of the keyword only, keyword/value pairing, or keyword with value list formats. This table describes how to use the keyword only, keyword/value pairing, or keyword with value list formats for the options element. Parameter type Example (with AdminApp syntax) Option element syntax Keyword only -nodeployejb
<option key="nodeployejb"/>
Keyword with simple value -custom value
<option key="custom" value="value"/>
Keyword with list of values -MapresrefToEJB {{value1} {value2} {value3}}
<option key="MapResRefToEJB"/> <value>value1</value> <value>value2</value> <value>value3</value> </option>

However, in this situation, the full set of options are assembled into a string corresponding to the
syntax of the scripting language.
Do not code parameters that are included as attributes on the task as options. Use the corresponding attribute to avoid redundancy and to prevent runtime exception during the task parsing.
The syntax of the nested option element allows for the following three formats: keyword only, keyword/value pairing, or keyword with value list.- key: The name of the option
- value: The value of the option. If no value attribute is present and the option does not contain value elements, then this key does not take a value.
If a keyword can take a list of values, then a single nested value element is used for each value in the list.
Add the following two <option> keys:- An option element with a key of contents points to the location on disk of the file to update option key="contents" value="locationOfFileOnDisk"/>.
- An option element with a key of contenturi points to the location inside of an .ear file of the file to update option key="contenturi" value="locationOfFileInEar"/>
