DOCUMENT_ROOT
The DOCUMENT_ROOT element specifies root directories that determine file
system paths for serving files to applications.
Syntax
<DOCUMENT_ROOT>dir-path[;...]</DOCUMENT_ROOT>- dir-path is a document root path. This element allows for multiple document root
paths to be specified; the separator used between resource paths is a semicolon
(
;).
The DOCUMENT_ROOT element does not support any attributes or have any child
elements.
Usage
You can use this element to specify root directories for serving files to applications. The
default document root directory (res.path.docroot) is
$FGLASDIR/web.
Other root directories can be specified as required. For example, the resource path
res.path.docroot.user, which is not defined in the GAS configuration file by
default, can be set as required for files generated at runtime, such as reports generated by the
Genero Report Engine (GRE).
When a web server is included in the solution architecture, the GAS's document root directory is
separate to the web server's, which has its own document root - often called
htdocs for the Apache web server or C:\Inetpub\wwwroot for
IIS. Files located in the web server document root are served by the web server, while files located
in the GAS DOCUMENT_ROOT are served by the GAS, i.e. the dispatcher.
Usage example
<DOCUMENT_ROOT>/usr/fgl2c/as/web</DOCUMENT_ROOT>
