Enterprise Ser v er Concepts The Enterprise Server consists of one or more domains. A domain is an administrative boundary or context. Each domain has an administration server (also called Domain A dministration Server or D AS) associated with it and consists of zero or more standalone instances and/or clusters. Each cluster has one or more homogen[...]

carry out the requests. The D AS is sometimes referred to as the admin server or default server. It is referred to as the default server because it is the only server instance that gets created on Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server installation and can be used for deployments. The D AS is simply a server instance with additional administration capabil[...]

Ser v er Instance The server instance is a single J ava EE compatible J ava Virtual Machine hosting an Enterprise Server on a single node. Each server instance has a unique name in the domain. A clustered server instance is a member of a cluster and receives all of its applications, resources, and conguration from its parent cluster; ensuring th[...]

names, IP A ddresses, and some administration capabilities. For the users, it is almost as if they have their own web server, without the hardware and basic server maintenance. These virtual servers do not span application server instances. For more information about virtual servers, see Chapter 13, “Conguring the HTTP Service. ” In operatio[...]

Basic Enterprise Ser v er Commands A dministration of the Enterprise Server includes tasks such as creation, conguration, control and management of domains, clusters, node agents, and server instances. This section contains the following topics: ■ “Creating a Domain” on page 31 ■ “Deleting a Domain” on page 32 ■ “Listing Domains?[...]

Caution – Do not create an enterprise domain unless you have H ADB and the Network Security Services (NSS) keystore. You will not be able to start an enterprise domain unless you have H ADB and NSS.

Java Business Integration J ava Business Integration (JBI) is an implementation of the JSR 208 specication ( http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=208 ) for Java Business I ntegration, a standard developed under the J ava Community Process (JCP) as an approach to implementing a service-oriented architecture (SO A). JBI denes an environment for [...]

Binding Components Binding Components are proxies for consumers or providers that are outside the JBI environment. Binding components typically are based on a standard communications protocol, such as FTP , JMS, or SMTP , or a call to an external service, such as SAP or WebSphere M Q. JBI components have the following lifecyle states: ■ Started ?[...]

For detailed steps, log on to the A dmin Console, navigate to t[...]

JDBC Resourc es This chapter explains how to congure JDBC resources, which are required by applications that access databases. This chapter contains the following sections: ■ “JDBC Resources” on page 43 ■ “JDBC C onnection P ools” on page 44 ■ “How JD B C Resources and Connection Pools Work Together” on page 44 ■ “Setting U[...]

When creating a JDBC resource, you must identify: 1. The JNDI N ame. By convention, the name begins with the jdbc/ string. For example: jdbc/payrolldb . Don’t forget the forward slash. 2. Select a connection pool to be associated with the new JDBC resource. 3. Specify the settings for the resource. 4. Identify the targets (clusters and standalone[...]

Behind the scenes, the application server retrieves a physical connection from the connection pool that corresponds to the database. The pool denes connection attributes such as the database name (URL), user name, and password. 3. Now that it is connected to the database, the application can read, modify, and add data to the database. The applic[...]

W orking with JDBC Connection Pools A JDBC connection pool is a group of reusable connections for a particular database. When creating the pool with the A dmin Console, the Administrator is actually dening the aspects of a connection to a specic database. Before creating the pool, you must rst install and integrate the JDB C driver. When b[...]

Editing a JDBC Connection P ool The Edit JDBC C onnection P ool page provides the means to change all of the settings for an existing pool except its name. 1. Change general settings. The values of the general settings depend on the specic JDBC driver that is installed. These settings are the names of classes or interfaces in the J ava programmi[...]

Optionally, the application server can validate connections before they are passed to applications. This validation allows the application server to automatically reestablish database connections if the database becomes unavailable due to network failure or database server crash. Validation of connections incurs additional overhead and slightly red[...]

Parameter Description Non-transactional Connections Click the check box if you want A pplication Server to return all non-transactional connections. Transaction Isolation Makes it possible to select the transaction isolation level for the connections of this pool. If left unspecied, the connections operate with default isolation levels provided [...]

A ttribute Description Validate A tmost Once Amount of time, in seconds, after which a connection is validated at most once. This will help reduce the number of validation requests by a connection. The default value 0 implies that connection validation is not enabled. Leak Timeout Amount of time, in seconds, to trace connection leaks in a connectio[...]

Match Connections Use this option to switch on/o connection matching for the pool. I t can be set to false if the administrator knows that the connections in the pool will always be homogeneous and hence a connection picked from the pool need not be matched by the resource adapter. Default value is false. Max Connection Usage Specify the number [...]

C onguring Message Security M essage Security enables a server to perform end-to-end authentication of web service invocations and responses at the message layer. The Enterprise Server implements message security using message security providers on the SO AP layer. The message security providers provide information such as the type of authentica[...]

Note – Users and groups are designated for the entire Enterprise Server, whereas each application denes its own roles. When the application is being packaged and deployed, the application species mappings between users/groups and roles, as illustrated in the following gure. Users A user is an individual (or application program) identity [...]

Roles A role denes which applications and what parts of each application users can access and what they can do. In other words, roles determine users' authorization levels. For example, in a personnel application all employees might have access to phone numbers and email addresses, but only managers would have access to salary information. [...]

In the JDBC realm, the server gets user credentials from a database. The Enterprise Server uses the database information and the enabled JDBC realm option in the conguration le. For digest authentication, a JDBC realm should be created with jdbcDigestRealm as the J AAS context. In the solaris realm the server gets user credentials from the So[...]

Assign a security role to users in the realm. To assign a security role to a user, add a security-role-mapping element to the deployment descriptor that you modied in Step 4 . The following example shows a security-role-mapping element that assigns the security role Employee to user Calvin . <security-role-mapping> <role-name>Employe[...]

M ost importantly, a certicate binds the owner's public key to the owner's identity. Like a passport binds a photograph to personal information about its holder, a certicate binds a public key to information about its owner. In addition to the public key, a certicate typically includes information such as: ■ The name of the hol[...]

When a Web browser (client) wants to connect to a secure site, an SSL handshake happens: ■ The browser sends a message over the network requesting a secure session (typically, by requesting a URL that begins with https instead of http ). ■ The server responds by sending its certicate (including its public key). ■ The browser veries that[...]

If all virtual hosts on a single IP address need to authenticate against the same certicate, the addition of multiple virtual hosts probably will not interfere with normal SSL operations on the server. Be aware, however, that most browsers will compare the server's domain name against the domain name listed in the certicate, if any (appl[...]

In the Developer Prole, on the server side, the Enterprise Server uses the JSSE format, which uses keytool to manage certicates and key stores.
