- log4j.configuration
-
Defines the location of the Apache Log4j framework configuration file.
For application blocks running on the Tomcat web server, this system property is configured in the
tomcat/bin/setenv.bat
andtomcat/bin/setenv.sh
files. By default, it points to thetomcat/conf/log4j.xml
configuration file.For the Desktop Client block, the application code configures this property, if it is not defined at JVM startup. By default it points to the
cuba-log4j.xml
file located in the CLASSPATH root. A different configuration file can be specified by overriding thegetDefaultLog4jConfig()
method of thecom.haulmont.cuba.desktop.App
class. - cuba.desktop.home
-
For the Desktop Client block, this property defines the root for the folders defined in the cuba.confDir, cuba.logDir, cuba.tempDir, and cuba.dataDir application properties.
If this property is not defined at JVM startup, the default value of
${user.home}/.haulmont/cuba
will be used. A different location can be specified by overriding thegetDefaultHomeDir()
method of thecom.haulmont.cuba.desktop.App
class. - cuba.unitTestMode
-
This system property is set to
true
when theCubaTestCase
base class is running integration tests.Example:
if (!Boolean.valueOf(System.getProperty("cuba.unitTestMode"))) return "Not in test mode";
