The base URL is part of the absolute (Uniform Resource Locator) URL used by each portlet to access pages in the Cúram application. The base URL is common to all Cúram portlets. Refer to the RFC 3986 if you wish to find out more information about URL specification. The value of the base.url property key in the PortletConfig.properties file is used to configure the base URL for Cúram portlets.
The default value for the base.url property key is https://localhost:9044/Curam/. The base URL of Cúram portlets can be configured in the following supported way:
This is the first part of the property value and is used to configure the protocol that will be used to access pages in the application from a Cúram portlet. As can be seen in the default value of the property value it contains the value https which configures a portlet to access the Cúram application securely by using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol through a Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS). It is strongly recommended to leave this value as is.
This must be used to configure the host name or ip address of the server on which the WebSphere system is running and where the Cúram application has been deployed. The default domain is "localhost" as can be seen above. The domain should be fully qualified if the default value is not being used - e.g., server1.xxx.com
The port number must be configured to the same port number that has been specified to host the Cúram application. If this part of the URL is omitted from the configured property value, then default port number 80 will be used.
This part of the base URL is the application as specified by the context root of the application when deploying the Cúram application on a host.
