Overview

All properties for the OpenFusion CORBA Services are stored in and controlled from XML files, making the list of properties flexible and extensible.

It is possible to directly edit property values in the XML files, although it is recommended that the Administration Manager interface be used. The Administration Manager provides proper validation of input and reduces errors.

Manually editing the XML configuration files is not recommended, but it would be possible to programmatically alter the properties. The XML files are described here for developers who wish to do that. The OpenFusion graphical tools include an XML editor which performs validation against XML DTDs. A command-line utility for setting properties is also provided; this is described in Command-line Configuration.

All configuration files are stored under the OpenFusion installation directory.


Take great care when manually editing XML files as errors can seriously interfere with the functioning of the OpenFusion graphical tools and Services.


Directory paths given as examples in this section use Unix conventions. Users of OpenFusion on Windows NT should make the appropriate substitutions.
