Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact UnboundID support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.
Note: this is an abstract component that cannot be instantiated.
Web Application Extensions may be used to define web applications to be hosted by the server.
A web application may be deployed in one of two ways: either as WAR file that has been packaged according to the standard layout and containing a web.xml deployment descriptor, or from a directory containing the application's source components arranged in the standard layout. In the case of the latter you may specify the location of the web.xml deployment descriptor if it is not in the standard location. You may also specify the directory used by the server for temporary files. At runtime the web application has access to the server classes.
Web applications may interact with the server via the WebAppServerContext interface defined in the Server SDK. The com.unboundid.directory.sdk.http.api.WebAppServerContextFactory class may be used to obtain a WebAppServerContext instance. This server context provides methods for obtaining information about the server, performing internal operations, registering components like change listeners and monitor providers, logging messages and generating alerts, and interacting with the server debugging framework.
