Setting up bsi.properties to use content with the File System

This section explains how to modify the bsi.properties file to use your content with the File System for UNIX-based systems.

Uncomment out line 164, 170, 176, 181, and 182 to look for content objects on the file system rather the database (users won't need to use the database). Content never been used on the file system; after installing Expere, must uncomment out lines in order to use content on the file system. Behind the scenes work to change the file format in order to use content on the file system.

  1. Access the the bsi.properties file.
    • If using Expere JAVA, access the bsi.properties file through your appropriate .ear file (e.g. ExpereIEServices_Wildfly.ear). Open the file in your preferred text editor.
    • If using Expere .NET, access the bsi.properties file from the Expere bin folder following installation.
  2. Uncomment the following lines:
    • com.bankerssystems.ImageResolver=com.bankerssystems.expere.render.image.FileSystemImageResolver
    • com.bankerssystems.CompiledObjectLoaderFactory=com.bankerssystems.expere.compCont.loader.FileSystemLoaderFactory
    • com.bankerssystems.FileSystemLoader.SourceDir=c:/somedir
      Note: Specify the source directory where SourceDir=c:/somedir.
    • ##com.bankerssystems.CompiledObjectLoaderFactory=com.bankerssystems.expere.compCont.loader.RepositoryLoaderFactory
    • com.bankerssystems.RepositoryLoaderFactory.SourceDir=c:/content
      Note: Specify the source directory where SourceDir=c:/content.
    Uncommenting these lines allows Expere to look for content objects on the File System rather than the database.
