This is the main configuration file of COMETE. It contains the following parameters:

comete.home

This is the folder where all the COMETE's data will be stored.

For example, on Linux, an appropriate value would be /var/lib/comete.

Make sure that the user under which Tomcat is running can access this location properly:

sudo mkdir /var/lib/comete
sudo chown tomcat8.tomcat8 /var/lib/comete
sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/comete

comete.repositoryName

This should be the name of your repository. This value is displayed at the top of the Linked Data pages in the header of the resources.

comete.url

This should be the URL of your COMETE instance. This value is used to implement the link for the repository name at the top of the Linked Data pages in the header of the resources. See comete.repositoryName above.

comete.uri.prefix

Each resource in the repository will be associated to a URI. Most of the time, the start of the URI should be function of the hostname of the machine on which COMETE has been installed. For example, if we set this parameter to http://host.domain.net/resource, the URI of the learning objects would look like http://host.domain.net/resource/learningobject/3637894e-00c9-415a-9f5a-be509266d51d.

comete.hostUrl

This is the URL of the hostname of the machine on which COMETE has been installed. This value should not end by a slash(/) character.

comete.admin.email

This is the email address of the COMETE's administrator. It is shown in the following locations:

  • Identification page of the COMETE's OAI-PMH endpoint.
  • RSS and Atom syndication feeds output.

comete.backup.home

This is the folder where the backups of COMETE's data will be written via the backup administration tool.

For example, on Linux, an appropriate value would be /var/lib/comete-backups.

Make sure that the user under which Tomcat is running can access this location properly:

sudo mkdir /var/lib/comete-backups
sudo chown tomcat8.tomcat8 /var/lib/comete-backups
sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/comete-backups

sparql.endpoint

This is the URL of the SPARQL endpoint of COMETE. This value should not be changed.

smtp.host

This is the hostname of IP address of your SMTP server. This is used whenever COMETE needs to notify a user by email. For now, it's used only by then Broken Link Manager.

comete.version

This is the version number of COMETE. This value should not be changed as it is computed from the pom.xml file.
