Woodstox in Glassfish v2

Posted by bhaktimehta on June 01, 2007 at 11:07 AM | Comments (1)

Starting with GF v2 b49, Woodstox is now integrated as part of Glassfish along with sjsxp so that users have the benefit of additional performance improvements which woodstox provides.
sjsxp is the default parser in glassfish. This is a preliminary integration with Woodstox and testing is still in progress so let us know if you run into issues.
Here is some more information from Santiago regarding Woodstox in his blog Woodstox rocks Glassfish v2

To enable Woodstox we need to use the following

Client side

These three system properties will need to be added on client side when you want to enable Woodstox.
-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory
-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxOutputFactory
-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxEventFactory

Server side

Similarly on server side we can use standard JAXP API's system properties to turn Woodstox on for entire GF. So GF process needs to be execed with the following system properties:

-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory
-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxOutputFactory
-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxEventFactory

In glassfish, the admin console provides easy way to set system properties as show in Fig 1 (you can do the same by editing domain.xml)

Great blog. One comment. Editing domain.xml is not recommended, instead use 'asadmin create-system-properties'
