Configuration parameters can be grouped into sections. A prefix in square brackets on a line starts a new section. See this example:

[server.0]
connector.0.host=localhost
connector.0.port=8879
connector.0.requestHeaderSize=24576

Sections are a shorthand of this:

server.0.connector.0.host=localhost
server.0.connector.0.port=8879
server.0.connector.0.requestHeaderSize=24576

Configuration parameters can be split into several configuration files using an include statement:

#include ./*-webapp.properties

This example will include parameters from all files with file names ending with “-webapp.properties”.

Text substitution will be performed on the values defined in the configuration files. The following replacements will be done:

To scramble any configuration parameter in the configuration file:

1. Add the keyword encrypted as a sub configuration to the configuration.
2. The next time the application starts it scans the configuration file for unscrambled values in the file and scrambles the value, and saves the updated file to disk.

Example:

The parameter *.pin = 1234 is considered to be sensitive and therefore it should be scrambled.

1. To scramble the parameter, replace the parameter with *.pin.encrypted = 1234.
2. The server will find the unscrambled value and scramble it.
3. The resulting configuration file will have the parameter *.pin.encrypted = encrypted:MCa12==
