Describes paths to directories specific to application resource used by the
DVM.
Starting with Genero 3.00, three new predefined resources have been added:
- A public resource path for all
applications,$(res.appdata.path)/public
- A resource for common images used by applications,
$(res.public.resources), which expands to
$(res.appdata.path)/public/common
- A resource where the Application Server stores files temporarily during file transfer,
$(res.path.tmp), which expands to
$(res.appdata.path)/tmp/$(dispatcher.name
At dispatcher start up, a public directory with write permissions located in
$(res.appdata.path)/public is created (if it doesn't already exists) which
contains two sub directories:
These directories will contain public images (i.e. images common to all applications) that
are cacheable by the browser and from where they can be delivered quickly to the front-end
without having to access an application's configuration file each time.
For details about deploying public images, see Resource deployment overview and Building an archive with public resources.
Note: To ensure
that resources are cacheable by the browser, the default public resource settings,
/public and /public/common, are not
configurable.
