configuration parameters are located in three places: - frevvo-config.properties - created by the System Administrator to override parameters in a container web.xml file. This is most often used when the container is not tomcat. See below for details.
- <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml - recommended file to override context-parameters in the web.xml file when using the tomcat container.
- WEB-INF\web.xml - this configuration file is included in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo.war zipfile. Modifications to this file require unzipping/rezipping the frevvo.war file after the modifications have been made. See below for the instructions. OEM partners can use this file to customize the product in many ways. See Installation Customizations for more information.
The parameters that are most commonly modified and discussed in the sections below are in frevvo.xml. The less commonly modified parameters are in web.xml. Any parameter in web.xml can be duplicated in frevvo.xml and the value in frevvo.xml takes precedence over the value in web.xml. If you plan to override the web.xml context parameter values and you are using the frevvo Tomcat bundle, we suggest doing so in frevvo.xml. This keeps all your modified parameters in one place and makes it easy to upgrade frevvo to newer releases. A frevvo-config.properties file in a deployment using tomcat seems redundant since it basically does the same thing as the frevvo.xml file. If it does exist , the configuration parameters in the frevvo-config.properties file will override the frevvo.xml and web.xml files. Modifying the frevvo.xml file. Follow these steps to modify context parameters in the frevvo.xml file. You can also set up your database in this file as well. If you are using tomcat, making your configuration changes here, will make it easier when you upgrade to : - Stop if it is running.
- Navigate to <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml.
- Open the file with a text editor.
- The installation tasks listed below will reference the frevvo.xml and web.xml files when appropriate. You can configure anything in frevvo.xml that you can configure in web.xml. When you add parameters to the file, use the same syntax as the ones already there. Here is an example of a parameter to control the Maximum Size of Attachments that users can upload.

5. Save the file after all your changes are made. Restart . Modifying the web.xml fileThe web.xml file is included in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo.war. The frevvo.war must be unzipped/rezipped after modifications have been made as outlined in the steps below: - Stop if it is running.
- Unpack the frevvo.war file to a temporary location of your choice: e.g. c:\tmp\frevvo-war. Change the file extension from .war to .zip if necessary.
- Edit c:\tmp\frevvo-war\WEB-INF\web.xml.
- Make the desired configuration changes - see appropriate sections of this page for information on specific parameters. Save the changes to the web.xml file.
Rezip all the files in the c:\tmp\frevvo-war directory, even the ones you did not edit — if you change directories or zip them differently, Live Forms may not load correctly: This is the correct structure for the frevvo.war zipfile. 
Make sure you create the zipfile with the directory structure as shown in the image above. It is an easy mistake to include the containing directory in the zipfile. If you do this, Live Forms may not load correctly. Zip will often give your zipfile a .zip extension. Make sure you change this to a .war extension. - Copy the updated frevvo.war file to <frevvo-home>tomcat\webapps.
- Restart your server.

- If you enter an email address in the frevvo.xml parameter and leave the Email address fields on the Edit Tenant screen blank - Doc action emails will use the frevvo.xml from email value and task notification will use tenant admin's email address.
- If you enter a value into the Email address fields on the Edit tenant page - Doc action and task notification emails will use this value. The value in the frevvo.xml file is overridden.
If you want to use the frevvo.xml value for Doc action emails, leave the tenant from email address blank. This would mean flow task notifications will use tenant admin's email address.
Debug sends more debugging info to the tomcat log files. And bounce.email sets an address to receive emails that cannot be delivered to the to email recipients.

There will be three additional logfiles when running Tomcat as a Windows service: - frevvoforms - stderr.YYYYMMDD and frevvoforms - stdout.YYYYMMDD for standard error messages and standard output stream, respectively. This is the default Tomcat behavior.
- commons-daemon.YYYY-MM-DD.log for Windows Service errors

Using Debug Mode to see logged in users
If the log level is set to DEBUG, then you will see user login and logout information in the <frevvo-home>\frevvo\tomcat\logs\frevvo.log file. Examples of log entries are shown below. Search for “Server num users” in the log file to quickly see the number of currently logged in/out users. Note the first log entry below shows the number of users currently logged in. Showing the list of currently logged in users via the UI to the superuser and tenant admins is planned for a future release.
User login:

The following screen displays when a user tries to submit a form from a timed out session.
Editing Submissions
Designer users can view/edit submissions by clicking the edit link on the submissions panel. Non designer users can view/edit submissions by clicking on the Shared Items tab if they have been granted permission to do so by the designer via the Access Control feature. The frevvo.submission.edit .link parameter must be set to the default value of true, for the edit link to be visible to any user. To disable the edit link on the submission panel, change the default value of true to false for the frevvo.submissions.edit.link configuration parameter in <frevvo-home>/WEB-INF/web.xml file. The web.xml file must be unzipped from the frevvo.war before it can be edited. Follow the instructions above to unzip, modify and rezip the war file.

is a multi-tenant application. See the administration section on Manage Tenants. However, it is possible that all you need is a single tenant. If this is your case, it simplifies the server login if you default the @<tenantname> so the user only needs to enter their username to login.
There are two files where the changes to default the tenant login to your tenant name can be made: web.xml or the frevvo.xml. The recommended approach is to add the configuration parameters to the frevvo.xm;l file as it keeps all your modified parameters in one place and makes it easy to upgrade to newer releases. Since the file is outside the frevvo war, you avoid the unzip/rezip of the of the frevvo.war that is needed if you make the changes in web.xml. Examples containing the context parameters for both files are shown below.
