WebappConfig > Configuring the web.properties file

The web.properties file configures several attributes for the InterMine web application.

quickSearch.identifiers	Text displayed in QuickSearch form when "identifiers" is selected
quickSearch.templates	Text displayed in QuickSearch form when "templates" is selected
quickSearch.lists	Text displayed in QuickSearch form when "lists" is selected
begin.query.classes	classes that will appear in the QueryBuilder section of the home page.
begin.browse.template	the template used by the QuickSearch
bag.example.identifiers	Text present in the list upload form.
attributeLink	to configure hyperlinks, generally to external dbs. See below
portal.welcome.flybase	the message to show when a user arrives at the webapp via the portal action (eg . <something>/portal.do)
webapp.defaultContext	If default context is defined, then this context is used for generating links to web service

Settings for the attributeLink property

The format for this property is

'attributelink' + unique_name + class + taxonId + attributeName + (url|imageName|text)

or

'attributelink' + unique_name + class + taxonId + attributeName + 'list' + (url|imageName|text)

if the link is with list of objects (ids).

• the unique_name is used to distinguish between multiple configurations for the same attribute/organism/class combination
• the taxonId is either a proper id or '*' when no assumptions is made regarding the organism.
• the 'list' element indicates the link will have a list of identifiers
• the value of the attribute (for the current object) is substituted anywhere the string "<<attributeValue>>" occurs in the text or the url

example:

 attributelink.flybase.Gene.7227.primaryIdentifier.url=http://www.flybase.org/.bin/fbidq.html?<<attributeValue>>
 attributelink.flybase.Gene.7227.primaryIdentifier.text=FlyBase: <<attributeValue>>

In this case Gene pages for Drosophila melanogaster will have a link that uses the organismDbId field.

A list example:

 attributelink.flymine.Gene.*.primaryIdentifier.list.url=http://www.flymine.org/query/portal.do?externalid=<<attributeValue>>&class=Gene
 attributelink.flymine.Gene.*.primaryIdentifier.list.text=FlyMine
 attributelink.flymine.Gene.*.primaryIdentifier.list.imageName=flymine_logo_link.gif

Note that for lists the attribute value (the list of ids) is not displayed. Only if a taxId is specified the code will check if the link to the external db is relevant.
