Configuration
The configuration of a managed object consists of name and value pairs that describe the object or affect its behavior.
Configuration can include any parameters of a managed object for which an administrator could supply values. For example, when creating a Tomcat server process, the administrator could supply a name for the server and an HTTP port number.
Configuration can also include attribute values that the administrator might need to know, but cannot modify. For example, the built-in model for a machine displays a computer's host name, IP address, operating system and hardware details.
The server GUI presents configuration parameters as name and value pairs. The default format lists the pairs in three columns, alphabetized by parameter name.
The value for a name can be either simple or complex (for example, the value could itself be a list of name and value pairs). However, the server GUI can display only simple values.
