8.21 Configuration File Support
The delivery systems supports a configuration file to set default servers, default properties, and custom delivery channels. The location of the configuration file is
{XDO_TOP}resourcexdodelivery.cfg where {XDO_TOP} is a Java system property that points to the physical directory.
This system property can be set in two ways:
■
Pass -DXDO_TOP=pathtoxdotop to the Java startup parameter
■
Use a Java API in your code, such as java.lang.System.getProperties.putXDO_TOP,
pathtoxdotop
The system property must be defined before constructing a DeliveryManager object. Following is a sample configuration file:

8.21.1 Defining Multiple Servers for a Delivery Channel
You can define multiple server entries for each delivery channel. For example, the preceding sample configuration file has two server entries for the ipp_printer
delivery channel myprinter1 and myprinter2.
Load a server entry for a delivery request by calling DeliveryRequest.setServer method. Following is an example:
Example 8–41 Sample Code for Defining Multiple Servers for a Delivery Channel
create delivery manager instance DeliveryManager dm = new DeliveryManager;
create a delivery request DeliveryRequest req = dm.createRequestDeliveryManager.TYPE_IPP_PRINTER;
load myprinter1 setting req.setServermyprinter1;
8.21.2 Specifying a Default Server for a Delivery Channel
To define a default server for a delivery channel, specify default=true. In the configuration file example above, myprinter1 is defined as the default sever for the
ipp_printer delivery channel. If a user does not specify the server properties for ipp_printer delivery, the server properties under the default server will be used.
8.21.3 Supported Configuration File Properties and Elements
The following properties are supported in the properties section:
■
ds-temp-dir: temporary directory location.
■
ds-buffering: specify true or false for buffering mode.
■
ds-ca-cert-file: specify the SSL certification file location.
