How to set up X-POWERED-BY in weblogic.xml?

Question

Here stated that it is possible to set X-POWERED-BY header appearance. But I don't see any way how to define this property through weblogic.xml. Anyone know how to do this?

In general, these properties can be overridden at the cluster level (in ClusterMBean, if the same property is present there), the server level (in ServerMBean, if the same property is present there) or for a specific Web application (in weblogic.xml)

The first thing you should try is editing your domain setting through the admin console:

<domain name> -> Configuration -> Web Applications

Change the X-Powered-By Header: drop down to whatever setting you need.

For a specific application, like a servlet, you can also call this method:

HttpServletResponse setHeader()

If you need to remove it via your web.xml file, you can try:

 <context-param>
   <param-name>com.sun.faces.sendPoweredByHeader</param-name>
   <param-value>false</param-value>
 </context-param>

If you want to set it using WLST try:

connect(username, password, host_info)
edit()
cd("/WebAppContainer/" + domainName)
startEdit()

# set to NONE, SHORT, MEDIUM, or FULL
cmo.setXPoweredByHeaderLevel("NONE")

activate()
