Page configurations are mainly used by TPageService to modify or append the application configuration. As the name indicates, a page configuration is associated with a directory storing some page files. It is stored as an XML file named config.xml.
When a user requests a page stored under <BasePath>/dir1/dir2, the TPageService will try to parse and load config.xml files under <BasePath>, <BasePath>/dir1 and <BasePath>/dir1/dir2. Paths, modules, and parameters specified in these configuration files will be appended or merged into the existing application configuration. Here <BasePath> is as defined in page service.
The format of a page configuration file is as follows,
The <paths>, <modules> and <parameters> are similar to those in an application configuration. The <authorization> specifies the authorization rules that apply to the current page directory and all its subdirectories. It will be explained in more detail in future sections. The <pages> element specifies the initial values for the properties of pages. Each <page> element specifies the initial property values for a particular page identified by the id attribute. Initial property values given in the <pages> element apply to all pages in the current directory and all its subdirectories.
Complete specification of page configurations can be found in the DTD and XSD files.
