`ssl3-enabled` | `true` | (optional) Determines whether SSL3 is enabled. The default is `true` . If both SSL2 and SSL3 are enabled for a virtual-server, the server tries SSL3 encryption first. If that fails, the server tries SSL2 encryption.

For example, this value should be as low as possible (`1` second) for a hit counter servlet on a frequently accessed web site, or you could lose the last few hits each time you restart the server.

## system-property

Specifies a system property. A system property defines a common value for a setting at one of these levels, from highest to lowest: domain, server, or config. A value set at a higher level can be overridden at a lower level. Some system properties are predefined; see system-property. You can also create system properties using this element.

The following example shows the use of a predefined system property:

    <log-service file="${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/server.log">
        <module-log-levels admin=INFO .../>
    </log-service>

The following example shows the creation and use of a system property:

    <config name="config1">
        ...
        <http-service>
            ...
            <http-listener id="ls1" host="0.0.0.0" port="${ls1-port}"/>
