Step 8: Edit the Gemsbok build properties - j5 - 28.0 - Administration & Configuration - Hexagon

• Navigate to the Gemsbok folder.

• Copy 'build.properties.example' to 'build.properties'.

• Edit the 'build.properties' using a text editor like Wordpad, and make the following changes:

  • dir­tomcat­webapps: Set this parameter to point to the webapps folder of your Tomcat instance.

    • Example: C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 8.0/webapps

  • fileSystemRootDirectory: Set this parameter to point to the root folder of your j5 IDE projects folder:

    • Example: C:/Users/<user>/j5 Projects/

  Even though this is a Windows system, in this configuration you must use forward slashes (‘/’). Replace all of the backslashes (‘\’) in the path name with forward slashes (‘/’).

  • configuration: Set this parameter to the sjsoft­j5 configuration folder in your Gemsbok folder:

    • Example: C:/gemsbok/configuration/sjsoft­j5

  • war: Change this parameter to the name of the webapp. For example: "gemsbok".

  • Optional: Change other settings if required (for example, the port number, the WAR filename)

An example build.properties file is shown below:

• This is the Signavio Core Components configuration file. Most users only must configure this file.

• The path to your Apache Tomcat webapps folder

  • dir­tomcat­webapps = C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 8.0/webapps

• The path to your jBoss deployment folder

  • dir­jboss­webapps = /jboss­5.1.0/server/default/deploy

• The folder the war file(s) is/are stored target = target

• The version of the application. If you want to integrate the Signavio Core Components into your own software product, you can align the version number. version=1.0.0

• The name of the war file, if you use the all­in­one­war build target war = gemsbok

• The configuration you want to use. This is the name of the folder in the 'configuration' project that contains the configuration and skin files. The following configurations are available:

  • default, Activiti, jBPM

• You can also add your own configuration in the 'configuration' project. configuration = C:/gemsbok/configuration/sjsoft­j5

• The URL of your server. Format: https://<domain>(:<port>)
