Oracle Determinations Server configuration file

The Oracle Determinations Server can be configured using the application.properties file, located at:

<webroot>/bin/config in .NET.
<webroot>/WEB-INF/classes/config in Java.

Some important points to note are:

Properties are declared according to the Java property file standard; essentially they're a key value list of values.
',' is interpreted as a list separator and so will normally need to be escaped. To do this write '\,' instead of just ','.
All files must be saved as UTF-8 text files.
Property names and values are case-sensitive.
If you have set up your application to cache properties, templates and so on, then you will need to restart your application server.

Rulebase loading properties:

Name	Description
load.rulebase.from.classpath	Java only. Set to true if you want the rulebases to be loaded from the classpath rather than the file system. This value must be set to true in order to deploy to Java application servers that do not explode the war file by default; for example, WebLogic
rulebase.path	The path to the directory to containing the rulebases. If load.rulebase.from.classpath = true then this path must be relative to the 'classes' directory. Otherwise the path can either be absolute or relative to the webroot.
cache.loaded.rulebases	If true rulebases will be cached and the server will required to be re-started in order to pick up rulebase changes. Otherwise it will operate in hot swapping mode which allows rulebase updates to be picked up without a server re-start. Note: if load.rulebase.from.classpath = true then this property will always effectively be true
screens.validate.html	Screens file content can include HTML authored by users in oracle policy modelling as static content. If this option is set to true, screen file content will be scanned at application start time to verify that all HTML tags contained in screens files are in the whitelist of allowable content. See the following option screens.html.tags.whitelist.
screens.html.tags.whitelist	This a semicolon-delimited list of HTML tags that are permitted within screens files. If screens.validate.html = true, any tag in a screens file that is not in this list will cause an exception to be thrown during rulebase loading and the rulebase will not be available.

General Determinations Server properties:

Name	Description
enable.request.validation	Set to true to enable validation of all requests made to the determination server against the relevant WSDL. This is for debugging purposes - the performance penalty for enabling this option is such that it should not be enabled in production.
enable.response.validation	Set to true to enable validation of all requests made to the determination server against the relevant WSDL. This is for debugging purposes - the performance penalty for enabling this option is such that it should not be enabled in production.
enable.second.person	Set to true to enable second person text substitution on rulebases that support it.
response.outcomes.only	Set to true to only return data in the response that matches the defined outcomes (return outcomes only). The default value is "false" to return all relevant data in the response.

Interview Service properties:

Name	Description
deploy.interview.service	This allows you to turn off the deployment of the interview service.
interview.session.timeout	This is the time if minutes for which an interview service session can be idle before it times out.

Plugins properties:

Name	Description
plugin.libraries	Java only. This property is used for web application servers where class path introspection is not possible such as WebLogic when the war file is not exploded. In that case, this property contains the ';' list of fully qualified plugin classes to load and the plugin libraries must reside in a directory that will automatically loaded on the classpath
