Spring Context

The Spring main application context is /WEB-INF/classes/application-context.xml which is optionally overridden by properties loaded in /WEB-INF/classes/application.properties.

Since most configuration can be done from configuration properties (see below) and can be overridden by the JNDI bindings, usually there is no need to edit these files directly to configure the itracker application.

JNDI Context

Some JNDI environment resources are configured from the container running the itracker webapp. The lookup names are found in application.properties.

• Configurable configurationServiceTarget.jndiPropertiesOverridePrefix from WEB-INF/classes/application.properties, useful for overriding values in configuration.properties from java:comp/env/itracker.
  eg. override system_base_url value with java:comp/env/itracker/system_base_url using the web.xml or context.xml.
• Datasource (database connection): java:comp/env/itracker/itracker_ds (see also dataSource.jndiName in application.properties and datasource.xml)
• DB Dialect (hibernate dialect): java:comp/env/itracker/db_dialect (see also db_dialect.defaultObject in application.properties and datasource.xml)
• Mailsession (notifications, password, ..)): java:comp/env/itracker/mail/Session
  You can also override the lookup name by setting configurationServiceTarget.mailSessionLookupName but usually you want to rather configure a mail-session accordingly for your web context.

Configuration Properties

There are some properties which you're able to configure for your itracker ( classpath:configuration.properties ) or override the properties with env-entries under java:comp/env/itracker/

• system_base_url : This property can be used to override the url determined dynamically by the system when a user submits an issue or self registers. This is mainly due to some users using private domain names that wouldn't be accessible to all recipiants of a notification email. This property is only used to create urls in emails sent to all users.
  default: http://localhost:8080/itracker
• web_session_timeout This property can be used to set the web session inactivity timeout. This number is the number of minutes that can elapse before the users session times out due to inactivity.
  default: 30 minutes
• site_logo Set this if you wish to use an alternate image logo in the header of all pages. It must be a resolvable absolute path to the context-root. (type : String)
  default: shows no logo (null)
• site_title Set this if you wish to use an alternate site title in the header of all pages.
  default: itracker.org
• available_locales Comma-separated list of available locales to the frontend.
  default: current default_locale from the configuration
• default_locale Set to the default locale of the server. This controls the default language for users after they are logged in, and also the language of the login page before they are logged in. This HAVE TO be in the format language_country (eg. en_US, de_DE, pt_PT, it_IT) (type : String)
  default: en_US
• create_super_user Set to true to create a default admin user if no other users exist in the database (type : Boolean)
  default: true
• allow_forgot_password Set to true to allow users to recover their passwords (type : Boolean)
  default: true
• allow_self_register Set to true to allow users to self register for your sever. This is a global setting that must be enabled for the project level options to be effective. If enabled, you must then go into each project you want accessible to self registered users, and which permissiosn you want. Currently only create and view all are available (view own is automatically granted), if you want other permissions, you must grant them using the normal user administration procedures. (type : Boolean)
  default: true
• allow_save_login Set to true to allow users to save their login in a cookie on their machine for auto login. Setting this to false will not allow any user on the system to use this feature. (type : Boolean)
  default: true
• save_login_key The "key" used to identify cookies from a specific token-based remember-me application.
  default: itracker
• save_login_timeout The period (in seconds) for which the remember-me cookie should be valid. default: 2592000 (30 days)
• allow_workflowscripts Set to false to deny execution of workflowscripts for the system. Be sure that your system is protected against injection of malicious scripts when enabled. (type : Boolean)
  default: true
• reminder_notification_days Defines the number of days after which issue reminder notifications will be sent.
  Set to 0 to disable reminder notifications. (type : Integer)
  default: 30
  To configure when reminders are sent, see application.properties reminder_cron.defaultObject
• authenticator_class This parameter sets the class to use for authentication. The class must be resident in the classpath that the ear is loaded in, and extend the org.itracker.services.authentication.PluggableAuthenticator abstract class. (type : String)
  default: Default-Authenticator
• max_attachment_size The maximum size of an individual issue attachment in kb.
  default: 512
• max_total_attachment_size The maximum total size of all attachments in kb.
  default: 100000
• notification_from_address Deprecated: From address for email notifications to use, if not set, the mail-session default (mail.from) value will be used.
  default: mail.from as defined in mail-session
• notification_from_text Deprecated: From address text for email notifications to use
  default: ITracker Notification System
• notification_replyto_address Deprecated: ReplyTo address for email notifications to use, if not set, the notification_from_address value will be used.
  default: mail.from as defined in mail-session
• notification_smtp_host Deprecated: SMTP hostname for email notifications to use
  default: localhost
• notification_smtp_charset Deprecated: SMTP notificate character set. You might need to change this for some locales
  default: the mail-session mail.mime.charset
• notification_smtp_password and notification_smtp_userid Deprecated: SMTP authentication userid and password if required by your application server
  it is recommended to use a mail-session instead, only use this for fallback support.
• pdf.export.fonts Fonts which will be included in exported PDFs, they are used from Jasper reports. your application server
  Fonts are looked up in classpath: /fonts/#name#.ttf
