Connector Configuration File

The server_jcs.xml file contains configuration items that cover the whole Java CS, whereas each connector has a conf/connector.xml file which covers a single connector. Some sections like validator and converter configuration exist in both files, in which the connector.xml can add to, or override, values in server_jcs.xml.

Each connector's jar file has a connector.xml file in it. To allow easier customization of its values after deployment, a matching file under jcs_home/conf/override/connector/connector.xml can be used to override settings.Template files with the name SAMPLE.connector.xml are provided in each directory. To customize, rename the templates to connector.xml, edited as required, and then restart the JCS.

For an example of a connector.xml template file see, jcs_home/conf/override/jdbc/SAMPLE.connector.xml.

The following sections describe the important sections in the conf/connector.xml file.
