Application Settings

Applications can further be configured with settings in the ApplicationInstance.

You can have multiple instances of each setting type and then refer to them by name in the ApplicationInstance:

applicationInstance1.xml

<applicationInstance name="applicationInstance1">
  <globalOptionSettings name="Modern"/>
  <presentationSettings name="Knockout Bootstrap"/>
  <businessLogicSettings name="TomEE Postgres Hibernate"/>
  <technicalInfrastructure name="Java 11"/>
</applicationInstance>

Global Option Settings

Here you can toggle several features for your application

tomee_posgres_hibernate.xml

<globalOptionSettings name="Modern">
  <counterDefault>IDENTITY</counterDefault>
  <useJavaEESecurity>FALSE</useJavaEESecurity>
  <buildEngine>MAVEN</buildEngine>
  <beanInterfacePolicy>BOTH</beanInterfacePolicy>
  <enforceHttpMethod>false</enforceHttpMethod>
  <useCsrfProtection>false</useCsrfProtection>
  <generateArtifactLabel>false</generateArtifactLabel>
</globalOptionSettings>
