LOCAL FIX:
PROBLEM SUMMARY
USERS AFFECTED:
IBM WebSphere Application Server users who do not wish to serve static files.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
It is not possible to globally prevent all applications, on a given application server, from serving static files regardless of their individual deployment settings.
RECOMMENDATION:
None
The WebContainer provides a custom property (fileServingEnabled) that can be used to enable/disable the serving of static files for all applications that do not define the fileServingEnabled setting in their deployment information. As a result, because the custom property setting is overridden by the specific deployment information of each application, there is no way to globally disallow file serving irrespective of the specific deployment information of each application.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
A new WebContainer custom property has been added that disallows file serving on all applications (except the administration console) on a given application server, irrespective of the specific deployment information of each application.
Set the new WebContainer custom property com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.disallowAllFileServing to true to
disable all file serving on a given application server. This custom property is not case sensitive.
