3.1. Structure of a Workflow Server Installation

The Workflow Server web application has the following file structure:

        workflow.war
 `-WEB-INF
   |-config
   | `-workflowserver
   |   `-spring
   |    `-applicationContext.xml
   |-lib
   |-properties
   | `-corem
   |-application.properties
   |-logback.xml
   `-web.xml

      

Example 3.1. Structure of the Workflow Server web application


The config/workflowserver/spring directory contains the Spring configuration. The properties/corem directory contains the main configuration.

Properties that are defined in properties/corem can also be overridden in the file WEB-INF/application.properties, via system properties or via JNDI. Additionally, you can specify additional properties files by defining a comma-separated list of paths in a system or JNDI property with the name propertieslocations. Configuration via JNDI, system properties or additional properties files enables you to leave the WAR files untouched and for example define properties in the context.xml of the Tomcat installation. For details please consult the [CoreMedia DXP 8 Manual].

Note that once a property is overridden using one of the above methods, reloading its value from the file, where it is originally configured, will be disabled.

You have to install the Workflow Tools as a separate application.
