You can specify your own APE configuration files in both start modes:
- by using the script start option -Dcom.hardis.adelia.mergedocengine.freemarker.conf="<path_to_directory_conf>", where "path_to_directory_conf" is a path to a directory containing the FreeMarker freemarker.properties configuration file (quotes for paths with spaces),
- by using the script start option -Dcom.hardis.adelia.transformxslfoengine.fop.conf="<path_to_directory_conf>", where "path_to_directory_conf" is a path to a directory containing the Apache FOP fop.xconf configuration file (quotes for paths with spaces),
by not specifying either of the two options described above. In this case, the configuration files in the "conf" directory are used.
You can also change the listening port of the Spring Boot application itself via the "-Dserver.port=<port_number>" option where "port_number" is the HTTP port number defined for the J2EE application. The default value is 8080.
Lastly, you can pool the Spring Boot application configuration in the same file (see the sample application.yml file provided as sample).
This is taken into account by the option -Dspring.config.location = "<path_to_application_yml_file>".
The path can be absolute or relative (relative to the directory where the file ape.bat/ape.sh is located).
For example, the -Dspring.config.location =..\conf\application.yml option is used to specify the sample Spring Boot configuration file in the conf subdirectory.
To start the application as a Windows service, "Install application as a service" needs to be executed first. Run the apeService.bat command without parameters to see the available options.
