# Shutdown Class --> Configuration

Tasks Related Topics Attributes

## Overview

The Shutdown Class—>Configuration tab defines a named configuration for a shutdown class. You use this tab while creating a new configuration or modifying an existing one.

A shutdown class is automatically loaded and executed when a WebLogic Server is shut down either from the Administration Console or using the `weblogic.admin` `shutdown` command.

If you are creating a new configuration, you must enter information on the Configuration tab and click Apply before you can access other tabs. Once you create a configuration, you cannot change its name. Instead, you must create a new configuration under a different name.

You can create multiple named configurations for any given shutdown class. For each configuration that you create, WebLogic Server uses a managed bean (MBean) to configure the shutdown class and persist the configuration.

## Attributes

Table 354-1

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
Name | An alpha-numeric value that identifies the shutdown class configuration. This name attribute is for your identification purposes only. After you have created a shutdown class configuration, you cannot change its name. Instead, delete the configuration and create a new one with a new name. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ShutdownClassMBean` Attribute: `Name` |
ClassName | The fully qualified name of the Java class that you have created and compiled. The class must be on the server's classpath. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ShutdownClassMBean` Attribute: `ClassName` | Required: yes
Deployment Order | A priority that the server uses to determine when it deploys an item. The priority is relative to other deployable items of the same type. For example, the server prioritizes and deploys all EJBs before it prioritizes and deploys startup classes. Items with the lowest Deployment Order value are deployed first. There is no guarantee on the order of deployments with equal Deployment Order values. There is no guarantee of ordering across clusters. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ShutdownClassMBean` Attribute: `DeploymentOrder` | Minimum: 0 Maximum: 231-1 Default: 1000 Dynamic: yes
Arguments | Arguments that the server uses to initialize a class. Separate multiple arguments with a comma. For example: `attribute1=value1,attribute2=value2` Do not use spaces to separate the arguments; use only a comma. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ShutdownClassMBean` Attribute: `Arguments` |
