Modifying portalapp.xml (SAP Library)

Modifying portalapp.xml

Use

The configuration of an application can be administered via the general configuration user interface, or via the Config mode of the portal application. Configuration data for a service can be administered by using a virtual configuration component.

Procedure

To access the Config framework APIs, the portal application needs to specify a private sharing reference in portalapp.xml:

<application-config>

</application-config>

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Although the Config mode will use the Config framework component to display the configuration, the application itself does not need a direct dependency on the Config component. It just needs the dependency on the configuration framework service in order to access the APIs.

A portal component can also specify a property called ConfigRootFolder. This represents the path within the overall configuration structure of your component-specific configuration. If no ConfigRootFolder info has been specified, the Config component will use the name of the application as a default (the name of the PAR file).

<component-config>

<property name="ClassName"

value="com.sap.portal.prt.config.HelloWorld"/>

</component-config>

<component-profile>

<property name="ConfigRootFolder"

value="/com.sap.portal.prt.config.prototype"/>

</component-profile>

</component>
