A profile repository component has a property named definitionFiles that points to the profile repository definition file. By default, the /atg/userprofiling/ProfileAdapterRepository component has the following value for this property:
definitionFiles=/atg/userprofiling/userProfile.xml
You can configure your profile repository to use a different user profile repository definition by changing the value of this property. For instance, if you define your user profile repository definition with a repository definition file named /myModule/userprofiling/userTemplate.xml, you would set the definitionFiles property as follows:
definitionFiles=/myModule/userprofiling/userTemplate.xml
The definitionFiles property indicates a location in your CONFIGPATH.
Be aware that if you don’t use the default definition file , some components and services that refer to this file will not work. For example, the Pioneer Cycling demo depends on the item descriptors and properties defined in the userProfile.xml file.
