OWS Configuration clarifications request

Hi all,
Some clarifications about configurations.

To ask you if user level configurations in OWS could somehow conflict with previous Oracle JRE configurations

Oracle --> \ [USER] \ AppData \ Local \ Sun \ Java \ Deployment
OWS--> \ [USER] \. Config \ icedtea-web

And, why every change on the system level deployment.properties (\ [WINDOWS] \ Sun \ Java \ Deployment \ deployment.properties) is replicated on the user level configuration? It is a standard inherited from Oracle distributions? As in the previous case, could this configuration management conflict with older Oracle jre installations?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Regards,
Carmelo

Hi

Please see

Code: Select all

https://openwebstart.com/docs/OWSGuide.html#_configuration
for details about Configuration Lookup Lifecycle.

OWS allows for different system settings than Oracle JWS. It will look for System level settings in \Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment for file itw-deployment.config. If that file is not present then it will take System level settings from deployment.config file.
