A subsystem declares default values for all the properties it requires in one or more .properties files in its subsystem directory.
For example, there could be a mysubsystem.properties file, containing the following:
ooo.user=${dir.root}/oouser
Placeholders are used for system-wide properties, such as dir.root in the -context.xml and .properties files, as the child application context will recursively expand placeholders for its own properties and all the placeholders recognized by its parent.
Properties files in the subsystem directory declare the configuration parameters, and provide default values where these haven’t been supplied elsewhere. These files shouldn’t be edited in order to configure the subsystem.
Use the following methods to modify the subsystem properties:
- JConsole Alfresco:Type=Configuration tree shows the subsystems and all their composite properties
-
See Using alfresco-global.properties for more information on how to configure a prepackaged subsystem.
- Use -D options
