Property Descriptor Element

An IceGrid node generates a configuration file for each of its servers and services. This file generally should not be edited manually because any changes are lost the next time the node generates the file. The property element is the correct way to define additional properties in a configuration file.

Note that IceGrid administrative utilities can retrieve the configuration properties of a server or service via the administrative facility.

This element may only appear as a child of a server element, a service element, an icebox element or a properties element.

The following attributes are supported:

Attribute	Description	Required
`name`	Specifies the property name.	Yes
`value`	Specifies the property value. If not defined, the value is an empty string.	No

Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:

XML

<server id="MyServer" ...>
    <property name="Ice.ThreadPool.Server.SizeMax" value="10"/>
    ...
</server>

This property element adds the following definition to the server's configuration file:

Ice.ThreadPool.Server.SizeMax=10
