In all cases, this value must be a fixed pattern (no "*
' allowed).
If the web service endpoint is a servlet that implements only a single endpoint and has only one url-pattern
, it is not necessary to set this value, because the web container derives it from the web.xml

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:
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. <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 You can set this property for all the web applications on a specific virtual server.

Most JDBC drivers allow use of standard property lists to specify the user, password, and other resource configuration information. Although properties are optional with respect to the GlassFish Server, some properties might be necessary for most databases. For details, see the JDBC 4.0 Standard Extension API.
When properties are specified, they are passed to the vendor's data source class (specified by the datasource-classname
attribute) as is using setName(value) methods.
The user
and password
properties are used as the default principal if container managed authentication is specified and a default-resource-principal
is not found in the application deployment descriptors.

keep-state
If set to true
, retains web sessions, stateful session bean instances, and persistently created EJB timers across redeployments. The --keepstate
option of the redeploy
subcommand takes precedence. The default for both is false
.
Some changes to an application between redeployments prevent this feature from working properly. For example, do not change the set of instance variables in the SFSB bean class.
For web applications, this feature is applicable only if in the glassfish-web-app.xml
file the persistence-type
attribute of the session-manager
element is file
.
For stateful session bean instances, the persistence type without high availability is set in the server (the sfsb-persistence-type
attribute) and must be set to file
, which is the default and recommended value.
If any active web session, SFSB instance, or EJB timer fails to be preserved or restored, none of these will be available when the redeployment is complete. However, the redeployment continues and a warning is logged.
To preserve active state data, GlassFish Server serializes the data and saves it in memory. To restore the data, the class loader of the newly redeployed application deserializes the data that was previously saved.

You can set properties for the mail-resource
element and then get these properties in a JavaMail Session
object later. Every property name must start with a mail-
prefix. The GlassFish Server changes the dash (-

and JavaMail Session
objects. If the name of the property doesn't start with mail-
, the property is ignored.
For example, to define the property mail.password
in a JavaMail Session object, first edit glassfish-resources.xml
as follows:
... <mail-resource jndi-name="mail/Session" ...> <property name="mail-password" value="adminadmin"/> </mail-resource> ...
After getting the JavaMail Session

pass-by-reference
Specifies the passing method used by a servlet or enterprise bean calling a remote interface method in another bean that is colocated within the same process.
If false
(the default if this element is not present), this application uses pass-by-value semantics.
If true
, this application uses pass-by-reference semantics.
Note:
The pass-by-reference
element only applies to remote calls. As defined in the EJB 2.1 specification, section 5.4, calls to local interfaces use pass-by-reference semantics.
If the pass-by-reference
element is set to its default value of false
, the passing semantics for calls to remote interfaces comply with the EJB 2.1 specification, section 5.4. If set to true
, remote calls involve pass-by-reference semantics instead of pass-by-value semantics, contrary to this specification.
Portable programs cannot assume that a copy of the object is made during such a call, and thus that it's safe to modify the original. Nor can they assume that a copy is not made, and thus that changes to the object are visible to both caller and callee. When this element is set to true
, parameters and return values should be considered read-only. The behavior of a program that modifies such parameters or return values is undefined.
When a servlet or enterprise bean calls a remote interface method in another bean that is colocated within the same process, by default GlassFish Server makes copies of all the call parameters in order to preserve the pass-by-value semantics. This increases the call overhead and decreases performance.
However, if the calling method does not change the object being passed as a parameter, it is safe to pass the object itself without making a copy of it. To do this, set the pass-by-reference value to true
.
The setting of this element in the glassfish-application.xml
file applies to all EJB modules in the application. For an individually deployed EJB module, you can set the same element in the glassfish-ejb-jar.xml
file. If pass-by-reference
is used at both the bean and application level, the bean level takes precedence.

, per-request load balancing is enabled for the associated stateless session bean. If set to false
or not set, per-request load balancing is not enabled. The default is false

pool-idle-timeout-in-seconds
Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that a bean instance is allowed to remain idle in the pool. When this timeout expires, the bean instance in a pool becomes a candidate for passivation or deletion. This is a hint to the server. A value of 0 specifies that idle beans remain in the pool indefinitely. Default value is 600.
Applies to stateless session beans, entity beans, and message-driven beans.
Note:
For a stateless session bean or a message-driven bean, the bean is removed (garbage collected) when the timeout expires.

or a wsdl-port
or both must be specified. If both are specified, wsdl-port
specifies the port that the container chooses for container-managed port selection.
The same wsdl-port
value must not appear in more than one port-info
element within the same service-ref
.
If a service-endpoint-interface
is using container-managed port selection, its value must not appear in more than one port-info
