9.5. Configure a Global Valve
Global valves are enabled and configured in the web subsystem. This is done using the JBoss CLI tool.
Procedure 9.2. Configure a Global Valve
Enable the Valve
Use theaddoperation to add a new valve entry./subsystem=web/valve=VALVENAME:add(module="MODULENAME",class-name="CLASSNAME")
/subsystem=web/valve=VALVENAME:add(module="MODULENAME",class-name="CLASSNAME")Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow You need to specify the following values:VALVENAME, the name that is used to refer to this valve in application configuration.MODULENAME, the module that contains the value being configured.CLASSNAME, the classname of the specific valve in the module.
For example:/subsystem=web/valve=clientlimiter:add(module="clientlimitermodule",class-name="org.jboss.samplevalves.RestrictedUserAgentsValve")
/subsystem=web/valve=clientlimiter:add(module="clientlimitermodule",class-name="org.jboss.samplevalves.RestrictedUserAgentsValve")Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Optionally: Specify Parameters
If the valve has configuration parameters, specify these with theadd-paramoperation./subsystem=web/valve=VALVENAME:add-param(param-name="PARAMNAME", param-value="PARAMVALUE")
/subsystem=web/valve=VALVENAME:add-param(param-name="PARAMNAME", param-value="PARAMVALUE")Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow You need to specify the following values:VALVENAME, the name that is used to refer to this valve in application configuration.PARAMNAME, the name of the parameter that is being configured for specific valve.PARAMVALUE, the value of the specified parameter.
For example:Example 9.1. Valve configuration
/subsystem=web/valve=clientlimiter:add-param( param-name="restrictedUserAgents", param-value="^.*MS Web Services Client Protocol.*$" )
/subsystem=web/valve=clientlimiter:add-param( param-name="restrictedUserAgents", param-value="^.*MS Web Services Client Protocol.*$" )Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
The valve is now enabled and configured for all deployed applications.
