Servlet definition in servlets.xml

The configuration/config/servlet/servlets.xml file contains definitions for Gosu servlets. You add definitions for your custom servlets to this file. You define a custom servlet in a <servlet> element.

The following attributes are available to the <servlet> element.

env: Optional. A comma-separated list of names of environments for which the servlet definition applies.
info-description: Optional. The description of the servlet.
info-path: Optional. Reserved for future use.
server: Optional. The server for which the servlet definition applies. The value of this attribute is either a server role preceded by the # character or a server ID.

The <servlet> element supports an optional <param> subelement for each configuration parameter. The names and values of the parameters appear when the InfoServlet servlet runs if the value of its ExposeDetails parameter is true. The following attributes are available to the <param> subelement.

name: Required. The name of the parameter.
value: Required. The value for the parameter that PolicyCenter uses at start up.
server: Optional. Specifies the server for which the parameter definition applies. The value of this attribute is either a server role preceded by the # character or a server ID.
