3. System properties

In principle, there is no need to use the following, very low-level, system properties.

Property nameValueDescription
XXE_ADDON_DOWNLOAD_LOCATIONList of ".xxe_addon" URLs separated by semi-colons (';').

Clicking on the Reset button of the "Install add-on" preferences of the Preferences dialog box resets the list of download URLs to the value specified by this property.

If this property is not set, by default, the list of download URLs is

XXE_DAV_TRACEAny (example: 1; suffice to set this property).

Causes the low-level WebDAV client to print DAV requests and responses on the console.

XXE_DAV_URI_ENCODING_USES_8859_1Any (example: 1; suffice to set this property).

Used by the low-level WebDAV client.

Specifies that the WebDAV server expects and returns URIs where accented characters (to make it simple) are escaped using the customary %HH form but where HH is the hexadecimal code of an ISO-8859-1 character.

The standard mandates HH to be UTF-8 codes, not ISO-8859-1 codes.

For example, this flag is needed for Apache/mod_dav running on an ``old'' Linux server where the file system encodes filenames using ISO-8859-1.

XXE_DAV_LOCK_OWNERA free form string, typically an email address.

Used by the low-level WebDAV client.

Specifies which string is used by default to identify you as the owner of a lock.

XXE_NETWORK_TIMEOUTA number of milliseconds.

Specifies the default timeout used for creating network connections and reading responses. A negative or null number means: wait indefinitely.

Used at various places in XMLmind XML Editor, for example by WebDAV and FTP virtual drives.

Built-in default value is 120,000ms (2mn).

XXE_JAVA_IMAGE_TOOLKIT_EXCLUDEList of file extensions separated by semi-colons (';').

Example: -DXXE_JAVA_IMAGE_TOOLKIT_EXCLUDE="bmp;wbmp"

This would prevent the built-in Java™ 1.5 image toolkit from handing BMP images.

This is useful in case you find an external image toolkit which handles specified image extensions better than the built-in Java™ image toolkit.

XXE_WEB_START.*-Reserved. Do not use.
