Jetspeed properties are used at runtime to customize the Jetspeed Portal runtime portal behavior. As of version 2.1.3, you must restart the server after changing one or more properties. We do not recommend
editing this file. Instead, use the procedure defined in the Override Properties document. Provided below is a list of all properties as of version 2.1.3.
Additionally, see the Spring configuration documentation for further deployment configuration of your portal.
| Property |
Default |
Description |
|---|
| include |
override.properties |
Override for jetspeed.properties. Make your changes in the overrides, not in jetspeed.properties. This include needs to be come before any other property definitions. |
| portal.name |
Jetspeed |
The name of your portal as returned to the portlet container via the Portlet API |
| portal.version |
2.1.4 |
The current version of Jetspeed. |
| portal.use.internal.jndi |
false |
By setting this to true, the Engine will create its own JNDI context. Not needed in deployment. We use Tomcat's JNDI instead. Useful for command line utilities and tests. |
| Portal URL Navigation |
|---|
| Property |
Default |
Description |
|---|
| portalurl.navigationalstate.parameter.name |
_ns |
Portal URL Navigational State Parameter Name. This parameter is encoded into the portal URL as part of the URL path. |
| portalurl.relative.only |
false |
Generate all Portal URLs without schema, servername or port. WARNING: Setting this to true means requesting secure
Portlet URLs won't have any effect anymore but a proxy frontend (like Apache) can still be used for securing the whole site.
See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-275#action_12474326 |
| Merged Portal Request Parameters |
|---|
| Until version 2.1, Jetspeed merged portal request parameters with portlet specific parameters, effectively allowing "shared" parameters. This
is not compliant with the JSR-168 PLT.11, so by default this is now disabled. By setting merge.portal.parameters.with.portlet.parameters=true this feature can
be "restored". In the situation of portal and portlet parameters with the same name, by default the portlet parameters will be provided first in the values array,
but this too can be overridden by setting merge.portal.parameters.before.portlet.parameters=true. Setting both these properties to true will deliver the "old"
pre-2.1 behavior. Note: for individual portlets, these global settings can be overridden by setting these properties as metadata in jetspeed-portlet.xml. |
| Property |
Default |
Description |
|---|
| merge.portal.parameters.with.portlet.parameters |
false |
Enable merging Portal (servlet) parameters with portlet parameters |
| merge.portal.parameters.before.portlet.parameters |
false |
By merging portal parameters first, they will override portlet parameters |

| Auto Switching |
|---|
| Auto Switching features enable the portal to use a built-in Configure Mode portlet for portlets who want to support Config Mode, but have not implemented it. Additionally, it also enables the portal to
use the portlet's Edit mode in Edit_Defaults mode. Both of these features are turned off by default. Use the properties below to enable them. |
| Property |
Default |
Description |
|---|
| supported.portletmode.autoswitch.config |
false |
Enable auto-switching of config mode to built-in custom config mode portlet when a portlet does not itself provide config mode |
| supported.portletmode.autoswitch.edit_defaults |
false |
Enable auto-switching in edit_defaults mode to edit mode automatically for portlets not supporting edit_defaults mode |
| supported.portletmode.autoswitch.config.surrogate.portlet |
j2-admin::CustomConfigModePortlet |
The Auto-switching surrogate portlet for config mode |
| User and Role Defaults |
|---|
| The following settings allow you to set default values for guest (non-authenticated) users, as well as default role and user names where required. |
| Property |
Default |
Description |
|---|
| default.user.principal |
guest |
If there is no authenticated user available from the portlet container, default to this un-authenticated guest user name.
This user is automatically added to the portlet request for calls like getUserPrincipal in the Portlet API |
| default.admin.user |
admin |
The default admin user is necessary for the portal to execute administrative tasks under non-administrative subjects. Example usage is during self-registration,
where a new user must be created from a non-authenticated user session. |
| default.admin.role |
admin |
The default name of the admin role. This role is used in the default Jetspeed system deployment for accessing all Administrative Portlets.
Beware that if you change this value, you will need to change your security constraints and permissions to grant access to this newly changed role |
| default.manager.role |
manager |
The default name of the manager role. This role is used in the default Jetspeed system deployment for accessing all Administrative Portlets
Beware that if you change this value, you will need to change your security constraints and permissions to to grant access to this newly changed role |
| default.user.role |
user |
Authenticated users are distinguished from non-authenticated users such as guest, when they have this specific role in their Subject |
| default.guest.role |
guest |
This role denotes an un-authenticated user. All users who are not authenticated should have this role. |
| LOG4J - Logging |
|---|
| The location of the Log4J configuration file. All Jetspeed categories are configured in this file. Jetspeed uses an isolated Log4J logger, so that
it does not interfere with the App Server's or other portlet application's Log4J logging. By default, all logging goes into the Jetspeed web application itself under
/WEB-INF/conf/Log4j.properties. You may want to change this configuration to point the log files outside of the distributed application. In the distribution,
all logging is configured at the ERROR level. |
