Method 1: Initializing the API by Using the Properties File

The initialize(java.lang.String propertyLocation) method initializes the Risk Evaluation API by using the parameters listed in the input Properties file. If you pass NULL, then the parameters are read from the riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties file, which is present in the properties directory of CLASSPATH.

The fields and format of this properties file must be as follows:

//RiskFort Server IP address
HOST.1=

//RiskFort Server port number
PORT.1=

//Type of the connection. Possible values include SSL and TCP.
TRANSPORT_TYPE=

//Required if TRANSPORT_TYPE is set to SSL. The file must be in
//PEM format. Provide the complete path for the file.
CA_CERT_FILE=

The following table provides the details of the initialize() method.
