Websphere Plugin Issue

--------------------------------

Hi,
Im using Websphere 6.1.0.21 and IBM HTTPServer 6.1 running on AIX and on different IPs. I installed an application at /"//" context root. Since it conflicted with DefaultApplication context root, so i changed it to /"/abc/". Hereafter i regenerated the plugins for the webserver from WAS console for the effects.
The problem is that the changes are not getting refelected in the plugin-cfg.xml.
Im expecting the following line to be added in the XML file:

But this is not happening, i've to manually edit the file and make an entry.
Also on updating the global plugin from WAS console, this entry is refelected in the global plugin file.
Path for global plugin: /usr/IBM/WebServer/AppServer/Profiles/Dmgr01/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml
Path for Webserver plugin: /usr/IBM/WebServer/AppServer/Profiles/Dmgr01/config/cells//nodes//servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

Where could be the problem?

hey ashu

If you want the plugin @ the webserver level to updated automatically, then configure your webserver as a managed webserver and then hit the propogate button


or have a common plgin file for both webserver and appserver.. by mapping them to a shared location will also solve your issue...

it is always good to restart your Dm after generating the plugin and check for plugin log and security entries for a smooth communication

Thanx

Hi All,
I got the root cause for the pblm.
Actually the global plugin is a part of the WebSphere, so it gets updated each time you upadte it from WAS console.
But if you want the Webserver plugin to be updated each time, you install an application (after generate and propogate from WAS console), then you just need to map your application to both application server and webserver while deploying.
I mapped my application only to application server. So the webserver plugin was not reflecting the changes, hence the request was lost from webserver.
Thanks
