ScriptEngine configuration is being ignored

[Osman_Ullah]

I have a custom application for Adobe Media Server. I am trying to set up the Application.xml file and the config isn't loading properly. This is not working:

<ScriptEngine>
 <config> 
 <createTransferFile>true</createTransferFile> 
 <maxDVRRollingWindow>-1</maxDVRRollingWindow> 
 </config> 
</ScriptEngine>

This really old config which is supposed to be deprecated seems to work:

<JSEngine> 
 <ApplicationObject> 
 <config> 
 <createTransferFile>true</createTransferFile> 
 <maxDVRRollingWindow>-1</maxDVRRollingWindow> 
 </config> 
 </ApplicationObject> 
</JSEngine>

Any suggestions on what is happening? I am also trying to configure FileObject, and it isn't working. I think it may be related to this really strange behavior with the config files.

<ScriptEngine> or <JSEngine> are analogous

The xml structure for it is as follows

<ScriptEngine>

     <FileObject>

          <VirtualDirectory>  you need to enable virtual directory support for in Server.xml in under <Security> tag

BTW, I am not aware of the tags you have mentioned i.e

<config>
<createTransferFile>true</createTransferFile>
<maxDVRRollingWindow>-1</maxDVRRollingWindow>
</config>

The <FileObject> tag is not working at all whether I have it in the JSEngine tag or the ScriptEngine tag. I already have turned on virtualdirectory support in server.xml.

The <config> is a way to set properties on the application.config object. It is getting ignored unless I use the <JSEngine> tag. Perhaps you can read up on the documentation before trying to help me out?

Any news on this? Osman did you find a solution on this? Please let me know.

old thread but maybe it will help others

I put in Application.xml at the root of my app folder

<ScriptEngine>

	<ApplicationObject>
q	<config>
	<!-- set variables that can be called with application.config.xxx -->
	<node_name>nodeXXX</node_name>
	</config>
	</ApplicationObject>

</ScriptEngine>

and works for me

maybe check the file permissions available as -rwx-r-r

Forgot to mention any application.config.xxx call

must be after the application is started, so for example

it should be in a function or at least in

application.onAppStart();
