After you create an application server and test it, you must configure it for your application. These topics describe how to configure application server settings and resources for your application.
Configure classloaders
Classloaders determine how your application server loads Java class files. This topic describes how to use the administrative console to configure classloaders for your application server.Administer HTTP transports for the Web container
Components of your application server use HTTP to communicate with each other. This topic describes how use the administrative console and wsadmint to confiugre HTTP transports for your application server.Administer session tracking for your application server
Applications use sessions to keep track of the client requests from a single Web browser session. This topic describes how to use the administrative console and wsadmin to configure session tracking for your application server.Manage substitution variables for your application server
Substitution variables can be useful in writing scripts and configuring classloaders. This topic describes how to use the administrative console and wsadmin to set up variables for your application server.Administer virtual hosts for your application server
Virtual hosts allow you to configure multiple multiple host names and port numbers as a single logical host. This topic describes how to configure virtual hosts for your application server instance.Configure database access for your application
Applications use JDBC drivers to connect to databases. JDBC drivers are represented by JDBC providers, and databases are represented by data sources. This topic describes how to configure JDBC providers and data sources for your application server.Administer mail resources for your application server
Your application server includes a built-in JavaMail(TM) provider that supports Java-based e-mail client applications. This topic describes how to use the administrative console and wsadmin to configure mail resources for your application server.Regenerate the Web server plugin configuration
Application servers use a Web server plugin to communicate with your HTTP server instance. Some changes to your application server require you to update the plugin configuration file. This topic describes how to regenerate the plugin configuration, and the situations in which you need to do so.Configure a remote HTTP topology
This topic describes how to configure a remote HTTP topology, in which your application server and your HTTP server are hosted on separate machines or logical partitions.Configure security settings for your application server
This topic provides some information on configuring security for your application server instance. For more detailed information on configuring security for WebSphere Application Server - Express, see Security.Advanced application server settings
This topic describes advanced settings for your application server. Under most circumstances, you do not need to change these advanced settings.
