Editing the Global Deployment
Descriptors 
Use the editor tool that the Configuration Adapter Service provides to edit the global-web.xml or web-j2ee-engine.xml global descriptors.

Do not try to edit the global descriptors by opening them manually from your hard disk. This can cause disturbance of the proper functioning of the Web Container.
Use the Visual Administrator tool to access the Configuration Adapter Service’s configuration editor:
...
1. Open the Display configuration tab of the Configuration Adapter Service running on server process.
2. Browse the Configurations tree: cluster_data ® server ® persistent ® servlet_jsp.
3. Select global-web.xml or web-j2ee-engine.xml (depending on which one you want to edit).
4.
To switch from display to
edit mode, choose
Switch between view and edit mode.
5.
To lauch the editor for
the selected descriptor, choose
Show the details of the selected
node.
6. A Change file screen appears that displays the selected descriptor in text mode. You can use it to modify the descriptor.
7.
After you finish the
modifications of the descriptor, choose
Download to download the modified file to your local file
system. It must replace the previous version of the file located in the \cluster\server\persistent\servlet_jsp subdirectory of
the directory where your SAP J2EE Engine instance is installed.
8.
To upload the modified
descriptor to the database, choose
Upload.
9. To close the editor after you upload the modified descriptor to the database, choose OK.
Now you have modified the global configurations defined in the global-web.xml or web-j2ee-engine.xml descriptors on the corresponding server process. However, if you are running the SAP J2EE Engine in a cluster, you must repeat the above procedure for each server process to change the global configurations of the Web Container for the whole cluster.

You have to restart all your running applications after you modify the global web descriptors, so that the changes become active.
