PI76699: Provide an option to override the default values for the ESI properties in the plugin-cfg.xml

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

In Liberty Profile v16.0.0.4, if a user manually sets
Plug-in property ESIEnable to false in the plugin-cfg.xml,
the changes are overridden with the next plug-in
regeneration with the default value.

Currently, Liberty does not have the capability for the four
ESI Plug-in properties to be changed from the following
defaults:

<Property Name="ESIEnable" Value="true"/>
<Property Name="ESIMaxCacheSize" Value="1024"/>
<Property Name="ESIInvalidationMonitor" Value="false"/>
<Property Name="ESIEnableToPassCookies" Value="false"/>

A fix is required to allow the plug-in properties to be
changed in Liberty so that the plug-in regeneration will
persist the changes to the plugin-cfg.xml file.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: It is not possible to override the      *
*                      default values for the ESI properties   *
*                      in the plugin-cfg.xml                   *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The server does not allow you to update the four ESI Plug-in
properties found in the plugin-cfg.xml.  The following are the
default values:

Property Name="ESIEnable" Value="true"
Property Name="ESIMaxCacheSize" Value="1024"
Property Name="ESIInvalidationMonitor" Value="false"
Property Name="ESIEnableToPassCookies" Value="false"

Problem conclusion

The capability to override the default ESI plugin values has
been added.
To get the new behavior, please set the properties in the
pluginConfiguration stanza in server.xml.

For example:

	    <pluginConfiguration ESIEnable="false"/>

Or, multiple properties can be set within the same stanza.  Note
the below are just example values which differ from the default
values:

	    <pluginConfiguration ESIEnable="false"
                         ESIMaxCacheSize="500"
                         ESIInvalidationMonitor="true"
                         ESIEnableToPassCookies="true"/>

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 17.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
