Configuring the Client

You can configure clients through files and API calls.

• Client Configuration

  You configure the client in two files: geode.properties for system-level configuration and cache.xml for cache-level configuration.

• Cache Server Configuration

  The servers are configured through command-line input and configuration files.

• Attribute Definition Priority

  You can specify attributes in different ways, which can cause conflicting definitions. Applications can be configured programmatically, and that has priority over other settings.

• Search Path for Multiple Properties Files

  The client processes first look for their properties file in the product-dir/defaultSystem directory, then in the working directory.

• Overriding Properties File Settings

  Application developers have the option of configuring system attributes programmatically, rather than using the geode.properties file.

• Defining Properties Programmatically

  You can pass in specific properties programmatically by using a Properties object to define the non-default properties.
