  com.codemonster.surinam.core.GlobalPath

public class GlobalPath
extends Object

This class provides global variables and flags that relate to the operating environment and are accessed from multiple locations within the framework. Also, this is a simple way to keep certain pieces of the framework portable; for example the logger is not final which would allow you to access and initialize it if necessary to override the default.

Field Detail

SURINAM_DEPLOYMENT_ROOT

public static String SURINAM_DEPLOYMENT_ROOT

We need a way for Action Documents (AD) to remain portable so we allow a root definition that gets built into the parsing of each AD. This mechanism allows ADs to contain relative paths based on the root that is defined here, just how much of the path is kept in the environment and how much is in the AD path is left to an individual's usage and preference. For Surinam project ADs, we keep all the service jars in the same directory by convention so we only need to put the name of the jar in the AD and the full path can be acquired from the environment. Note that the jar name in the AD allows for portable sub-directory structures as your organizational scheme sees fit.
