The application configuration files for defining application, section and tabs can be added to the <server-dir>\components\<component-name>\clientapps directory, where <component-name> is a custom component. Sub-folders are supported within the clientapps folder. Any artifacts added to this directory will override files of the same name in the <server-dir>\components\<component-name>\tab directory. The tab directory contains files that are shipped with existing components within the Cúram application and these files should not be modified.
When customizing application configuration files that ship with the Cúram application, the XML configuration file and.properties file should always be customized as a unit. For example, a change to the SimpleApp.properties file, associated with the SimpleApp.app file, should result in adding both SimpleApp.app and SimpleApp.properties to the clientapps folder. These files should be based on the merged version of the files. The inserttabconfiguration target can be used to get a development copy of the merged file. See the Cúram Server Developer Guide for more information.
There are a few general rules and best practices when working with the application configuration files:
