Application Configuration

The Fedora 4 web-application supports several deploy-time, system-level configuration options. These configuration elements are set via the definition of System Properties.

Deployments

Four means of deploying Fedora 4 have been verified

• Tomcat 7 servlet container
• Jetty 9 servlet container
• Maven jetty:run plugin - for testing
• One-Click Run - for testing

Each of these deployment approaches has its own way of setting System Properties.

Tomcat 7

On Debian Linux systems, the typical way of setting System Properties is to update the following file:

/etc/default/tomcat7

Within that file, new properties can be added per the example below:

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dfcrepo.home=/mnt/fedora-data"

Additional information regarding the configuration of System Properties in Tomcat 7 can be found here.

Jetty 9

On Debian Linux systems, one way of setting System Properties is to update the following file:

/etc/default/jetty

Within that file, new properties can be added per the example below (note the use of JAVA_OPTIONS instead of JAVA_OPTS):

JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dfcrepo.home=/mnt/fedora-data"

Additional information regarding the configuration of System Properties in Jetty 9 can be found here.
