Server Configuration

Overview

This chapter will describe how to configure the Servoy Application Server.

Most of the settings of the Servoy Application Server can be managed through the Servoy Admin Page, some require the editing of configuration files.

The Servoy Admin Page can be accessed using a browser at the following url: {serverURL}/servoy-admin. The first page shows the Servoy Application Server status and Servoy Settings.

All the settings done through the Servoy Admin Page are stored in the servoy.properties file, located in {servoyInstall}/application_server.

Manual editing of the servoy.properties file It is possible to edit the servoy.properties file by hand, using a text editor. Do make sure to shut down the Servoy Application Server prior to editing. Otherwise, the changes will be overwritten when shutting down or restarting the Servoy Application Server.

The servoy.properties file also supports property value substitution, so a property of servoy: servoy.property=value can also be set like: servoy.property=${value}; that value can be then another property value but also a system.property or an environment property.

This way you can provision the properties from the outside (like a docker image)
