Configuration files

WebSphere® eXtreme Scale is configured by a collection of XML and properties files.

Server properties file
The server properties file contains several properties that define different settings for your server, such as trace settings, logging, and security configuration. The server properties file is used by both catalog service and container servers in both stand-alone servers and servers that are hosted in WebSphere Application Server.
Client properties file
You can create a properties file based on your requirements for WebSphere eXtreme Scale client processes.
REST data service properties file
To configure the REST data service, edit the properties file for REST and define the required entity schema for a data grid.
ObjectGrid descriptor XML file
To configure WebSphere eXtreme Scale, use an ObjectGrid® descriptor XML file and the ObjectGrid API.
Deployment policy descriptor XML file
To configure a deployment policy, use a deployment policy descriptor XML file.
Entity metadata descriptor XML file
The entity metadata descriptor file is an XML file that is used to define an entity schema for WebSphere eXtreme Scale. Define all of the entity metadata in the XML file, or define the entity metadata as annotations on the entity Java™ class file. The primary use is for entities that cannot use Java annotations.
Security descriptor XML file
Use a security descriptor XML file to configure an eXtreme Scale deployment topology with security enabled. You can use the elements in this file to configure different aspects of security.
Spring descriptor XML file
