The following table lists the XML and properties files used to configure the Workplace application. Some files must be modified manually, whereas others can be changed through the application.
NOTE A modified configuration file must be reloaded for the new settings to take affect. In most cases, you can simply reload the file from the application. However, for some modified files, you must restart the web server on which the P8 client application is deployed.
