Configuration File

Configuration File — File containing settings for the Validate environment

Introduction

ProLinga-Validate comes with a configuration file where various variable settings can be entered. Variables like the name of the Language Definition file and the name of the host where the Repository Web Service is running for instance. Default installation of ProLinga-Validate will put the default configuration file prolingavalcfg.xml in the etc directory.

A default configuration file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    </Service>
  </Configuration>
</ProLinga>

There is a main section for the client program and for the local/stand alone programs. The setup of this configuration file is such that it can be combined with configuration files from other ProLinga projects.
