org.zkoss.zk.config.path
Property:
org.zkoss.zk.config.path
Applicable:globally in zk.xml via <library-property>
not as <custom-attribute>
Default: none [since 5.0.7]
It specifies another configuration file in addition to WEB-INF/zk.xml. This is useful if you have two or more environments, such as testing and production. Then, you could put the different configuration into separate files and load the required files based on the requirement.
The value could be one of the following:
- A servlet path, such as
/WEB-INF/config/zk-extra.xml - A file path, such as
file:///home/http/zk.xmlandfile:///C:/test/zk.xml, if you use Windows. Notice it must start withfile://[1]. - A URL, such as
http://foo.com/config/zk.xml. Notice it must starts withhttp://,https://, andftp://.
Notice that WEB-INF/zk.xml is always loaded, and it is loaded before the configuration file specified in this system property. Thus, you could put the configurations common to each environment in WEB-INF/zk.xml, and put the difference to the extra configuration file.
For example, assume you put the configuration in a file called /configs/zk-production.xml, then you could specify -Dorg.zkoss.zk.config.path=file:/configs/zk-production.xml as one of the arguments when starting the Web server.
Another example is to provide an ID generator for the testing purpose. For more information, please refer to ZK Developer's Reference: Testing Tips.
