RDM Application Properties

This article is intended to serve as a reference point for RDM configuration. As such, it provides an overview of the available properties and, when applicable, refers users to more comprehensive sources. The properties described here are defined in the rdm/etc/application.properties file.

For each property, you will find information about the required data type, its default value, and a short description. The Mandatory column specifies whether a property is required for the application to run and function as expected.

Name Data type Default value Mandatory Description

server.port

Number

8060

Yes

The number of the port where the RDM application is running.

server.servlet.context-path

String

/

Yes

The context path to the RDM application server. It is root by default.
