JSPWIKI.PROPERTIES
Back to current versionRestore this version

The JSPWIKI.PROPERTIES file, contained in the WEB-INF folder identifies the operating characteristics of the wiki engine. The file is quite well documented, but this page identifies the setting changes made:

jspwiki.applicationName = xxxxxxx#

This identifies the application name and when the [{$applicationname}] variable is used in the wiki markup, it is used there. High Line distributes this with ePersonality as the application name. McKesson changes it to HHRM, for their distribution.

jspwiki.baseURL = xxxx#

This describes where the wiki "lives" and is used to create the links to the various wiki pages.

jspwiki.pageProvider = VersioningFileProvider#

This identifies how the pages are stored and version information is kept. Options here are
  1. RCSFileProvider - for simple RCS-based file storage.
  2. FileSystemProvider - for simple pure file storage with no version information. This is the default
  3. VersioningFileProvider - for simple, non-RCS based versioning storage.

jspwiki.fileSystemProvider.pageDir = D:\\wikidata#

This is the directory on the application server where the wiki files are kept. For Windows-based installations, each backslash must be represented by \\. The application server process must have full access to this directory.

jspwiki.workDir = D:\\wikidata\\temp#

This is the directory where temporary files are set. It is used to store searchg results from the Lucene search engine. The application server process must have full access to this directory.

jspwiki.basicAttachmentProvider.storageDir = D:\\wikidata#

This directory indicates where any attachments may be uploaded. It is normally set to be the same as the fileSystemProvider directory, but could be anywhere. The application server process must have full access to this directory.

jspwiki.diffProvider = ContextualDiffProvider#

This setting identifies how page differences should be presented in the wiki. The options available, out of the box are as follows. Users can indicate a different difference program, if desired.
  1. TraditionalDiffProvider - Uses internal (java) diff to create a list of changes and shows it line by line colored. This is the default
  2. ContextualDiffProvider - Uses internal (java) diff to create changes inline and shows it on a word by word basis using CSS. This is much superior to the traditional diff provider, and is the choice for these wikis.
  3. ExternalDiffProvider - uses a system diff program (which can be configured using "jspwiki.diffCommand") to create a unified (!) diff.

jspwiki.translatorReader.matchEnglishPlurals = false#

This setting allows for a match between two terms which may be plurals of another. Initially set, experience has shown that this has potential for confusion, so it has been disabled.

jspwiki.lockExpiryTime = 30#

This setting identifies the lock expiry time, for when a person opens the page. The time is expressed in minutes.

jspwiki.plugin.searchPath = #

This setting indicates the path to search for plug-ins to the wiki engine. Current setting is org.ceryle.wiki.plugin,com.ecyrd.jspwiki.plugin,brushed.jspwiki.tableplugin

User and Group database files#

These settings indicate the place where the XML data base files are stored, for user and group definitions. These two directory/file names should be changed to reflect you r environment configuration so as to preclude them from being overwritten at the next upgrade. 
 jspwiki.xmlGroupDatabaseFile = D:~\\wikidata\Configuration\\groupdatabase.xml
 jspwiki.xmlUserDatabaseFile = D:~\\wikidata\Configuration\\userdatabase.xml

The wiki configuration comes with a number of InterWiki links defined. Most are commented out, by placing a # symbol in front of the line. The ones left behind are: 
* This is the JSPWiki home.  In future, JSPWiki will probably rely on this for error messages, so I don't recommend that you change it.
jspwiki.interWikiRef.JSPWiki = http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/%s

* Here's how you can have directly links to the JSPWiki editor. Now you can put a hyperlink for editing "MainPage" by making a link [Edit:MainPage].
jspwiki.interWikiRef.Edit = Edit.jsp?page=%s

*  JSPWiki documentation (for this release)
jspwiki.interWikiRef.Doc = http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.8/wiki/%s

jspwiki.translatorReader.inlinePattern.1 = #

These settings indicate the types of images that can be included "inline" with the wiki markup text.

jspwiki.translatorReader.inlinePattern.1 = *.jpg
jspwiki.translatorReader.inlinePattern.1 = *.gif
jspwiki.translatorReader.inlinePattern.2 = *.png

log4j.appender.FileLog.#

These settings control the behaviour and location of the logfile generated by the wiki engine
