Chapter 18. Development Security References


18.1. jboss-web.xml Configuration Reference

Introduction

The jboss-web.xml is a file within your deployment's WEB-INF directory. It contains configuration information about features the JBoss Web container adds to the Servlet 3.0 specification. Settings specific to the Servlet 3.0 specification are placed into web.xml in the same directory.

The top-level element in the jboss-web.xml file is the <jboss-web> element.
Mapping Global Resources to WAR Requirements

Many of the available settings map requirements set in the application's web.xml to local resources. The explanations of the web.xml settings can be found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/webapp/web_xml.html.

For instance, if the web.xml requires jdbc/MyDataSource, the jboss-web.xml may map the global datasource java:/DefaultDS to fulfill this need. The WAR uses the global datasource to fill its need for jdbc/MyDataSource.
