Application Config 
The application-config element may contain unlimited number of property elements. The properties specified in this section of the deployment descriptor affect the portal application as a whole.
The name of the application is the name of the PAR file.
A property element declares a property by name and value.
<property name="myProperty" value="myPropertyValue"/> |
The following table describes currently meaningful application configuration properties:
Property |
Default Value |
Admissible Value |
Description |
SharingReference |
n.a. |
List of names or aliases of other portal applications. The list is separated by commas (,) |
Allows references to other portal applications whose API definitions are to be used in this application's API definition. |
PrivateSharingReference |
n.a. |
List of names or aliases of other portal applications. The list is separated by commas (,) |
Allows references to other portal applications whose API definitions are to be used in this application's (non-public) implementation |
ClassLoadingPolicy |
"transitive" |
Comma-separated (,) combination of "5.0", "coreAccessInAPI", "transitive" |
The values of this property affect the way class loader resources are exposed by this application to other applications and more |
startup |
false |
"true", "false" |
If set to true, the application as a whole will be initialized on startup of the SAP J2EE Engine. In particular this means that it will be locally deployed |
releasable |
true |
"true", "false" |
Since PRT allows hot deployment, all applications can be released and the application instance can be dropped at any time by the system. Nevertheless some critical applications may want to avoid their instance being released when the system runs low in memory. They should then set this property to false. |
testable |
false |
"true", "false" |
The PRT uses this information to indicates to the PAR Unit Test Studio if the application contains testable entities. All testable portal components will be invoked with the portal runtime test framework |
PreservedConfigPaths |
n.a. |
A comma-separated (,) list of application local paths (for example PORTAL-INF/mystuff). |
Depending on the deployment policy, it is possible to specify a number of folders in the PAR that are to be preserved during local deployment |
DeploymentPolicy |
n.a. |
"5.0" or <empty> |
This property affects how the portal application's resources are treated during local deployment |
ServicesReference |
n.a. |
"5.0" or <empty> |
This property is equivalent to the SharingReference property |
