Abstract
A system and method for automated servlet configuration. In a servlet development environment, an automated servlet configuration file generation method can include querying a subject servlet for associated servlet configuration data through the servlet development environment. Subsequently, the servlet configuration data can be incorporated in a servlet configuration file. In consequence, the servlet configuration file can be processed in an application server to explicitly configure the subject servlet.
Claims13
In a servlet development environment, an automated servlet configuration file generation method, comprising the steps of:
- querying a subject servlet for associated servlet configuration data through the servlet development environment;
- and,
- incorporating said servlet configuration data in a servlet configuration file,
- whereby said servlet configuration file can be processed in an application server to explicitly configure said subject servlet.
In a Web application development environment, an automated Web application archive file generation method, comprising the steps of:
- querying a subject Web application for associated Web application configuration data through the Web application development environment;
- incorporating said Web application configuration data in a Web application configuration descriptor;
- and,
- archiving said subject Web application and said Web application descriptor in a Web application archive file,
- whereby said Web application configuration descriptor can be processed in an application server to explicitly configure said Web application.
A servlet development environment comprising:
- a servlet development environment for editing, compiling and configuring servlets for deployment in an application server;
- an automated servlet configuration tool, said automated servlet configuration tool comprising a servlet query engine for querying servlets for associated servlet configuration data, and a servlet configuration file processor for formatting said associated servlet configuration data into a servlet configuration file which can be processed in said application server;
- and,
- a graphical user interface (GUI) through which users can select processing parameters utilized by said automated servlet configuration tool when performing said querying and formatting.
A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for automating the generation of a servlet configuration file, said computer program comprising a routing set of instructions for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
- querying a subject servlet for associated servlet configuration data through an interface to a servlet development environment;
- and,
- incorporating said servlet configuration data in a servlet configuration file,
- whereby said servlet configuration file can be processed in an application server to explicitly configure said subject servlet.
A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for automating the generation of a Web application archive file, said computer program comprising a routing set of instructions for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
- querying a subject Web application for associated Web application configuration data through an interface to a Web application development environment;
- incorporating said Web application configuration data in a Web application configuration descriptor;
- and,
- archiving said subject Web application and said Web application descriptor in a Web application archive file,
- whereby said Web application configuration descriptor can be processed in an application server to explicitly configure said Web application.
