Description

Value Constraints

Frontend Host

The HTTP frontendHost is set when the Host information coming from the URL may be inaccurate due to the presence of a firewall or proxy. If this parameter is set, the HOST header is ignored and this value is always used.

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WebServerMBean`

Attribute: `FrontendHost`

Default: null

Configurable: yes

Frontend HTTP Port

The frontendHTTPPort is set when the Port information coming from the URL may be inaccurate due to the presence of a firewall or proxy. If this parameter is set, the HOST header is ignored and this value is always used.

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WebServerMBean`

Attribute: `FrontendHTTPPort`

Default: 0

Configurable: yes

Frontend HTTPS Port

The frontendHTTPSPort is set when the Port information coming from the URL may be inaccurate due to the presence of a firewall or proxy. If this parameter is set, the HOST header is ignored and this value is always used.

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WebServerMBean`

Attribute: `FrontendHTTPSPort`

Default: 0

Configurable: yes

WAP Enabled

Enables WAP

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WebServerMBean`

Attribute: `WAPEnabled`

Default: false

Valid values:

true

false

Send Server Header

Returns whether or not to send a response Server header

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WebServerMBean`

Attribute: `SendServerHeaderEnabled`

Default: true

Valid values:

true

false

Accept Context Path In Get Real Path

Beginning with this release inclusion of the contextPath in the virtualPath to the context.getRealPath() will not be allowed as it breaks the case when the subdirectories have the same name as contextPath. In order to support applications which might have been developed according to the old behaviour we are providing a compatibility switch. This switchwill be deprecated in future releases.

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WebServerMBean`

Attribute: `AcceptContextPathInGetRealPath`

Default: false

Valid values:

true

false

HTTP Max Message Size

Specify the maximum HTTP message size allowable in a message header. This attribute attempts to prevent a denial of service attack whereby a caller attempts to force the server to allocate more memory than is available thereby keeping the server from responding quickly to other requests. This setting only applies to connections that are initiated using one of the default ports (ServerMBean setListenPort and setAdministrationPort or SSLMBean setListenPort). Connections on additional ports are tuned via the NetworkChannelMBean.

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration.ServerMBean`

Attribute: `MaxHTTPMessageSize`

Units: bytes

Minimum: 4096

Maximum: 2000000000

Default: -1

Configurable: yes

Dynamic: yes

HTTP Message Timeout

Specify the maximum number of seconds spent waiting for a complete HTTP message to be received. This attribute helps guard against denial of service attacks in which a caller indicates that they will be sending a message of a certain size which they never finish sending. This setting only applies to connections that are initiated using one of the default ports (ServerMBean setListenPort and setAdministrationPort or SSLMBean setListenPort). Connections on additional ports are tuned via the NetworkChannelMBean.

MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration.ServerMBean`

Attribute: `CompleteHTTPMessageTimeout`

Units: seconds

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 480

Default: -1

Configurable: yes

Dynamic: yes
