GROUP (for an application)

This GROUP element allows you to specify a directory where external application configuration files are located.

Syntax

<GROUP Id=name>path</GROUP>
Note:
  1. name is a string that uniquely identifies the group.
  2. path is the path to the directory where the external application configuration files are to be placed.

Child elements

There are no child elements.

Usage

You use this element to declare a group and specify a directory where external application configuration files belonging to this group are located. Once a GROUP has been declared, an administrator can add an external application configuration file into the specified directory, and the Genero Application Server locates and uses that file without having to be restarted.

Usage example

<GROUP id="tut-demo">$(res.path.as.demo)/tut/app</GROUP>
<GROUP id="mygroup">/home/myuser/config</GROUP>

URL with group

You use the alias for the group in the application URL to specify where the application configuration file is found. 
http://server/gas/ua/r/mygroup/app1
