Understanding Sun Master Index Configuration Options

Modifying midm.xml

You can modify midm.xml at any time, but you must regenerate the application and redeploy the project after making any changes to the file. Changes made to this file do not affect match processing. The possible modifications to this file are restricted by the schema definition, so be sure to validate the file after making any changes. Certain properties of this file can be modified using the Configuration Editor, such as whether a field appears on a search page and is required for that search. Most MIDM properties need to be modified directly in this file.
