The web.xml file is the central configuration file for your Performance Dashboard Web application.
This file is stored in the Tomcat directory <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\ppm-web-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\PerformanceDashboard\webapp\WEB-INF.
The default is formulated in the following DTD:
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd
The session timeout parameter
<!-- Session Configuration -->
<session-config>
<session-timeout>5</session-timeout>
</session-config>
This parameter specifies the number of minutes before an inactive session is terminated, i.e., a user's login is rejected. If the user attempts to continue navigating, an error message is displayed and the user needs to log in again.
HTML page encoding
<!-- Filter Configuration -->
<filter>
<filter-name>EncodingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.idsscheer.ppmweb.common.util.ZPSCEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
The value of the encoding parameter determines the type of encoding to be used to display the HTML pages provided by the Web application in the browser.
UTF-8 can be used as the value for all use cases. All multi-byte content can be displayed correctly.
