Hello all
I have a general question regarding various properties that can be set
in Glassfish. I'm testing Admin Console and see the following pages for
properties:
* server
-> System Properties tab
* a cluster
-> Properties tab containing:
-> System Properties (also called Cluster System Properties) and
Cluster Properties tabs
* a clustered instance
-> Properties tab containing:
-> Configuration Properties (also named Configuration System
Properties) and Instance Properties
* a standalone instance
-> Properties tab containing:
-> Configuration Properties (also named Configuration System
Properties) and Instance Properties
* a cluster-config
-> System Properties page (also called Configuration System Properties)
* other configs as the one above...
The above pages are somewhat confusing in Admin Console (partially due
to naming, e.g. Configuration System Properties, I'll log an issue for
that). It is hard to tell if there is any relationship between them,
just looking at the GUI pages, and what that relationship may be. I
would like to understand the relationships before logging any
enhancement requests.
It looks like there are two types of properties: just "regular, simple"
properties and system properties. Looking at v2 documentation
(
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4338/abhey?l=en&n=1&a=view) it
seems that system properties differ from regular properties in that they
are hierarchical and thus can be overridden further down the chain. Is
there any other significant difference between the two? Is there any
other relation between various properties?
Thanks
