APPLICATION (for an application)

This APPLICATION element defines an application within the Genero Application Server configuration file or in an external application configuration file.

An APPLICATION element defines an application. Attributes for this element include:

Id (required for applications defined within the Genero Application Server configuration file. For external configuration files, the Id attribute is ignored) - A string used to uniquely identify this application configuration element. The Id specified is compared to the application name in the request.
Parent - A string that identifies the parent application, or the application from which this application will inherit its default configuration/settings.
Abstract - Defines whether this application configuration element is an abstract application. It expects a boolean string; the valid values for this type are "TRUE" and "FALSE". An abstract application can not instantiate Virtual Machines. Abstract configurations are used purely in the scope of future inheritance of the configuration for other Web applications. Abstract applications can only be defined in the application server configuration file, they cannot be defined in an external application configuration file.
mode - When set to "sticky", defines a Web service as a sticky Web service. See Configure sticky Web services.

Child elements

The APPLICATION element may contain the following elements:

Zero or one DESCRIPTION element.
Zero or more RESOURCE elements.
Zero or one EXECUTION elements.
Zero or one UA_OUTPUT elements. This element is used for all UI applications. Use OUTPUT for GWC for HTML5 applications.
Zero or one OUTPUT elements. This element is deprecated; only used for UI applications using GWC for HTML5.

CAUTION:

Use either UA_OUTPUT or OUTPUT, depending on which front-end your application is intended for; do not use both. Starting with Genero 3.00, all UI applications use UA_OUTPUT.

Example

<APPLICATION Id="gwc-demo" Parent="defaultgwc">
  <EXECUTION>
    <PATH>$(res.path.fgldir.demo)</PATH>
    <MODULE>demo.42r</MODULE>
  </EXECUTION>
  <UA_OUTPUT> </UA_OUTPUT>
</APPLICATION>

Parent elements

When used in an application configuration file, it is the top-most element.

When used in the GAS configuration file, this element is a child of one of the following elements: APPLICATION_LIST.
