3.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the configuration files that are shipped with HydraExpress and their default settings. As a HydraExpress developer, you need to know what functionality the product provides by default, in order to understand what changes and extensions you may need to make for your specific services.
Configuration files are located in the conf directory of your HydraExpress installation. Some of these files can be modified to accommodate your needs. These files are listed inTable 2. These are the only files that you can safely edit as necessary. The rest of the files in the conf directory are system files that should be left unchanged.
Table 2: Editable Agent Configuration Files
| Editable File | Description |
rwagent.xml | This file is the Agent's primary configuration file. It defines connectors, handlers, security, and other Agent-specific configuration. |
loggers.xml | This file configures the loggers used to record significant events related to general Agent processes and service execution. |
servlet\server.xml | This file defines the Ajp13 and HTTP connectors to provide an interface for accessing the servlet execution engine. |
servlet\web.xml | This file is used to add servlets and servlet-mapping elements to a context. |
webservice\client-transports-template.xml | This file defines the client transport objects that are needed to send messages to a server. See Note below. |
webservice\objects-template.xml | This file makes all objects defined in it available to any running service. For standalone Web services, this file is needed to register custom handlers. See Note below. |
webservice\server-transports-template.xml | This file defines the server transport objects that are needed to receive messages from a client. See Note below. |
Note: You should not need to customize the files in the webservice directory unless you are creating custom transports for use in Web service development.
