Verj.io Server File System

The Verj.io Server file system is divided into two distinct parts:

· Userdata: this file system includes all configurable files, and runtime data like log files and the Verj.io Server Repository Database. This should be separate from your installation directory.

For an external server the location of the server userdata file system is specified at installation time and defaults to <install target>/UserData/Server. The server’s userdata location can be changed using either of the following two methods:

· Edit file VerjioServer.server.inst at the root of the installation and change the VERJIO_SERVER_USERDATA variable

· Set the VERJIO_SERVER_USERDATA environment variable prior to starting the server

For the embedded server used by the studio, the default userdata location is <user home>/Verjio/Studio/embeddedServer

See Server Configuration for more detailed instructions.

Installation: this file system includes all the distributed server software: Verj.io, Apache Tomcat and Java. This file system will be replaced by a subsequent Verj.io upgrade so should be treated as read only. The location of the installation file system is specified at installation time. The default on Windows systems is C:/Verjio/VerjioServer.

The location of each part is specified at installation time.

Userdata File System Layout

This file system is initialised by copying the /Server/initData folder from the installation folder when the server is started for the first time.

Folder	Description
apps	Container for Verj.io web applications
ebase	Container for each web application – this folder should have the same name as the web application as configured in /tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost. The default name for the single web application created by the installer is ebase. This folder is returned by API method services.file.getUserDataApplicationPath().
backups	Contains any workspace backups created using the Server Admin App.
deployments	Contains files relating to deployments that have been deployed to this web application.
ebaseConf	Contains the majority of the Verj.io server configuration files. These files are maintained using the Server Admin App or can be edited directly.
generatedfiles	This is the default location where files uploaded by end users are saved. This can be changed using the Server Admin App.
generatedpdfs	This is the default location where generated PDF files are saved. This can be changed using the Server Admin App.
logs	Contains the Verj.io server log file for this web app. See also tomcat/logs below.
printFonts	Optional directory containing additional fonts needed to generate PDFs.
runtimeResources	Contains copied web resource files that are configured within Server Resources files in the workspace.
velocityTemplates	This is the default location for Velocity templates, as configured in apps/ebase/ebaseConf/velocity.properties.
webapp	The root for the web application. Any additional web resources that are required should be added to this folder. This folder is returned by API method services.file.getWebAppRootFilePath().
WEB-INF
classes	Add any Java class files and property files here. This folder extends the corresponding WEB-INF/classes folder in the installation directory.
lib	Add any jar or zip files here. This folder extends the corresponding WEB-INF/lib folder in the installation directory.
workspace	The location of the distributed workspace
conf	Contains the legacy ebaselogin.config file
DB	Contains the distributed Apache Derby Repository database. Your system may be configured to use a different database provider. This configuration is in tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/ebase.xml.
security	Location of the directory containing the Java trust store. Certificates for any systems called from the Verj.io system may need to be added to this directory e.g. calling REST or SOAP web services. See Adding Certificates to Trust Store
tomcat	The root folder for any tomcat configurations. This extends the tomcat file system in the installation directory.
bin	Contains the setenv.bat/sh which is used to set Java memory and parameters when the server is started using the start_verjio_server.bat/sh files in the /Server/bin folder of the installation.
conf	Contains most tomcat configuration files, in particular server.xml which contains configuration of http ports and SSL when this is configured at tomcat level.
Catalina
localhost	Contains the web application context file appname.xml (default is ebase.xml). This file contains configuration for any database connections defined at app server level plus the configuration for any transaction manager when the default of atomikos is not used.
lib	Add jar/zip files for any JDBC drivers here. This extends tomcat/lib in the installation system.
logs	Contains tomcat logs. See also apps/ebase/logs for the Verj.io server log.
temp	Temporary files
webapps	Location to add any non-Verj.io web applications
work	Work files. Will contain Java source and class files for any JSPs.
winservice	Contains the setvars.bat file which configures Java memory specification and parameters for the server when started as a Windows service.
