Special application server settings

When running an application server, settings may need to be adjusted to the web client requirements. Paths to files stored locally on the server usually do have different locations, when being required by the Web client. Typically, application resources as images or icons must be passed as URL to the Web client.

For gaining flexibility, usually resource paths will contain one or more option references, which may change at run time. We suggest, e.g. defining paths to application resources as

% DESIGNER_RES %/ resource_name

The settings for DESIGNER_RES determine the local path for the resource. In an additional section WEBOptions one may alter the location for the path in the WEBOptions section. System variables, which could not be resolved from the settings in the WEBOptions section will be resolved from the default section settings.
