• 4. Database Migration
• 5. Example application properties

You can provide a configuration file application.properties and put it in the same directory where your scipamato.jar resides.

The properties are of the following form:

specific.property.name=value

Any line starting with the hash (#) is considered a comment. You can find a full sample application.properties at the end of the page.

1. Application specific settings

scipamato.brand

The brand name of the application. (default: SciPaMaTo)

scipamato.localization.default

The default localization for the user interface (default: de (German), currently also supported en (English))

scipamato.paper.number.minimum-to-be-recycled

The lowest number SciPaMaTo will consider for new papers (in case of gaps). I.e. any number below the defined value would not be recycled in case of gaps. Set this in order to either create a gap by using a higher number than the currently highest assigned number. Or to prevent SciPaMaTo from filling gaps in a lower range and only recycle free numbers in the high ranges.

wicket.external.agilcoders.bootstrap.theme

The look and feel of the application. SciPaMaTo can use the themes provided by Bootswatch, the default theme is cerulean. Other options, e.g. cosmo, cyborg, darkly, flatly, journal, lumen, paper, readable, sandstone, simplex, slate, solar, spacelab, superhero, united, yeti.

2. Web Server Settings

server.port

defines the port the application server listens on (default: 8080)

spring.http.multipart.max-file-size

The maximum file size for a single attachment (default: 10MB)

spring.http.multipart.max-request-size

Max request size (for all files combined) (default: 10MB)

3. Logging

logging.file

location of your log file (default: log/scipamato.log)

logging.level.root

root log level, e.g. DEBUG, INFO, WARN (default: INFO)

logging.level.ch.difty

log level for specific package (here e.g. ch.difty.*)

4. Database Migration

flyway.cleanDisabled

If this setting is set to true, Flyway refuses to clear the database, even if called to do so. Definitely should be set to true in production environments.

5. Example application properties

The following example provides the default values (except the database profile!). There’s no need to use this specific version. But you can use it as a template to change specific values to configure your preferred choices.

If the property file contains passwords, it makes sense to protecte the file from reading for unauthorized users.
