configuration parameters are located in three places: - 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 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 config.properties file will override the frevvo.xml and web.xml files. 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 accidentally delete <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml, restart tomcat and a new copy will be created from a pristine one stored in frevvo.war!META-INF/context.xml . |

You can configure your deployment in the config.properties, frevvo.xml or web.xml files. Parameters in the config.properties will override the frevvo.xml file which will override the web.xml file. If you are using the tomcat bundle and want to modify the web.xml file, you can avoid unpacking/repacking of the frevvo.war file by making configuration changes in the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/ conf/Catalina/localhost/frevvo.xml file. This file is located outside the frevvo.war. Making configuration changes in this file will help you to keep all your changes in one place and simplify the upgrade procedure to newer releases. Containers , Containers ,other than tomcat, may not have a mechanism like the frevvo.xml file where configuration changes can be made without having to manually expand files, change the web.xml and re-war it. Creating Creating the config.properties file and making the context-parameter changes there provide a simple way for the System Admininstrator to mange configuration issues. For example, system administrators might prefer to distribute only one config.properties file rather than deal with many different ones for a deployment across multiple nodes and clusters.

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

Editing Submissions
Submissions can be edited via the Submissions Page. This feature is disabled by default for in-house users. To enable this feature, add the frevvo.submissions.edit.link configuration parameter to the <frevvo-home>/WEB-INF/web.xml. For more details on the feature that this parameter controls see Editing Submissions. The web.xml file must be unzipped from the frevvo.war before it can be edited. See above for the details.
