The configuration file (config.properties) is used to configure the behaviour of the application at runtime.
Using config.properties
From 3.30
The config.properties file is no more integrated in the application. (No more need recover config utility. Version control compatible. Easy upgrade in case of bug correction)
To use this externalized properties file, use the -Dconfig.location parameter on the java command line.
Tomcat example:
set JAVAOPTS="-Dconfig.location=/path/to/config.properties"; startup.sh
See chapter Configuring the application And adapt web.xml (see Installation 3.30)
You also find an exhaustive list of those properties can be found in the config.properties.example file from sources.
Prior 3.30
The configuration file /properties/config.properties is used to configure the behaviour of the application at runtime. An exhaustive list of those properties can be found in the distributed file /properties/config.properties.
