Configuring Partitions
You can also host modules at locations outside the Partition footprint. To do so, open
the partition.xml file for the Partition whose module paths you want to configure.
Search for the element node. See Chapter 30, “Partition XML reference.”
Within this node, you can configure archive repositories for all your archives by type, or
provide the location of a specific archive that you want hosted outside the Partition
repositories. See Chapter 30, “Partition XML reference” for syntax.
In the Management Console, archives hosted within the Partition's footprint are called
“Deployed Modules”. Archives that are hosted outside the Partition's footprint are
called “Hosted Modules”.
Working with Partition services
The Partition allows you to specify which services will run within it and how they will
behave in the context of the Partition instance. You can configure the Partition to
automatically start some or all of its services at Partition startup. You can specify the
order in which Partition services start and shut down. Additionally, you can configure
which Partition services are configurable through the Management Console. Again, the
partition.xml file captures this information as attributes of its element.
Partition handling of services
The element has four attributes, which are:
autostart
startorder
shutdownorder
administer
The services to be started with the Partition.
The startup order imposed on the Partition services included in the
autostart.
The shutdown order imposed on the Partition services running at
shutdown.
The Partition services that will appear in the Management Console
as configurable.
To set any one of these attributes, use either the Management Console or search the
Partition's partition.xml file for the node. The valid value for each attribute
is a space-separated list of Partition service names, which are read left to right. For
example, if you wanted to shutdown a Partition service named ejb_container before a
service named transaction_service, you would set the value of shutdownorder to:
ejb_container transaction_service
Configuring individual services
Each Partition service is configurable within the context of its Partition parent. The
partition.xml file captures information about individual services in the node,
the child node of . In addition, you can use the sub-element
within to set service-specific properties that do not come under the auspices
of the Partition's runtime executable.
If your services are to be included in the service node lists, you must define them with
a service data block and give them a unique name using the name attribute. For a full
description of the attributes that are configurable for Partition services, see Chapter 30,
“Partition XML reference.”
Configuring VisiNaming Service Clusters for BES
To configure a VisiNaming cluster for BES, in addition to the steps outlined in the
Configuring the VisiNaming Service Cluster section, in the VisiBroker for Java
Developer's Guide, and in Configuring the VisiNaming Service Cluster section in the
VisiBroker for C++ Developer's Guide, you must add the name of the factory to the
property jns.name in partition.xml.
