## unset-web-context-param

unsets a servlet context-initialization parameter of a deployed web application or module

Synopsis

    unset-web-context-param [--help]
    --name=context-param-name application-name[/module]

Description

The `unset-web-context-param` subcommand unsets a servlet context-initialization parameter of one of the following items:

- A deployed web application

- A web module in a deployed Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application

When a parameter is unset, its value reverts to the value, if any, that is set in the application's deployment descriptor.

The application must already be deployed. Otherwise, an error occurs.

The parameter must have previously been set by using the `set-web-context-param` subcommand. Otherwise, an error occurs.

Note:

Do not use the `unset-web-context-param` subcommand to change the value of a servlet context-initialization parameter that is set in an application's deployment descriptor. Instead, use the set-web-context-param(1) subcommand for this purpose.

This subcommand enables you to change the configuration of a deployed application without the need to modify the application's deployment descriptors and repackage and redeploy the application.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

`--help`
`-?`

  Displays the help text for the subcommand.

`--name`

  The name of the servlet context-initialization parameter that is to be unset. This parameter must have previously been set by using the `set-web-context-param` subcommand. Otherwise, an error occurs.

Operands

application-name

  The name of the application. This name can be obtained from the Administration Console or by using the list-applications(1) subcommand.

  The application must already be deployed. Otherwise, an error occurs.

module

  The relative path to the module within the application's enterprise archive (EAR) file. The path to the module is specified in the `module` element of the application's `application.xml` file.

  module is required only if the servlet context-initialization parameter applies to a web module of a Java EE application. If specified, module must follow application-name, separated by a slash (/).

  For example, the `application.xml` file for the `myApp` application might specify the following web module:

      <module>
          <web>
              <web-uri>myWebModule.war</web-uri>
          </web>
      </module>

  The module would be specified as the operand of this command as `myApp/myWebModule.war`.

Examples

Example 1 Unsetting a Servlet Context-Initialization Parameter for a Web Application

  This example unsets the servlet context-initialization parameter `javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD` of the web application `basic-ezcomp`. The parameter reverts to the value, if any, that is defined in the application's deployment descriptor.

      asadmin> unset-web-context-param
      --name=javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD basic-ezcomp

      Command unset-web-context-param executed successfully.

Exit Status
