Service Information
Component properties are set during system start-up: the
Content Store
reads them from .properties
files. These files
are named in the same way as the components they configure. The
properties of the
/neo/io/content/cache/ArticleListCache
component
for example, are loaded from files called
configuration-root/neo/io/content/cache/ArticleListCache.properties
that contain appropriate property settings such as:
maxSize=300
The Content Store has a layered configuration system in which such property settings are loaded from a number of different locations. During start-up, the Content Store searches through a series of locations (or configuration-roots) in turn and applies the settings it finds. The final property settings displayed in the component browser, therefore, are a result of merging all the settings found in these various locations. If a particular property is set in several locations, the last setting wins.
The service information section contains listings of all the
.properties
files loaded for a component, in the
order they were loaded. You can therefore use this section to find
out where particular properties are actually set.
