jfta.properties
This file contains certain configurable options. Rather than passing these
through a -Dxxx=yyy argument to the Java virtual machine, the jFTA
system will read this file, and provide these values through the
jfta.base.FTAService.getProperty method. Many of the values stored there
may be left as default, the following are probably the most interesting ones:
- jftaroot
This points to the ${TOP}directory.
- fta_daemon_port
This is a TCP/IP port number which is used by the FTADaemon. You
can run multiple jFTAenvironments on one host, for different users,
but each user must have a different port number set.
- domainname
Some braindamaged Unix systems don't set the domain name part of a
hostname correctly, or misuse the corresponding environment variable
for the NIS domain. You can explicitly set a correct domain name here,
e.g. as ``dot.com'' (no leading dot!).
It is valid to add own private environment variables here. Note that only
the jFTAapplications will be able to read them, unlike to the -Dxxx=yyy
definition arguments of the JVM.
