Customizing properties files

Properties files contain properties and end with the extension .properties. Each property is defined on one line. A .properties file has no header, so you do not need to take any action to preserve the header.

  1. Open the file you want to customize.

    For example, open the SkyVault-global.properties file.

  2. Comment out all the properties you do not want to modify by adding the "#" character.

    For example, to override the db.driver property, you only require one line:

    db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
  3. Uncomment all the properties that you want to activate by removing the "#" character.
  4. Save the file.
