RESTful Engine Report Configuration Settings

The engine accepts these properties in two different manners:

  • Set globally in the application configuration/properties file. These properties will hold true for all reports generated:
    • .NET RESTful Engine: web.config
    • Java RESTful Engine: WindwardReports.properties
  • Set the properties on a per request basis by putting it under the Properties tag in the request body (check here). If you do so, then the properties passed as headers will override the default values we have set, or the values you have set globally in the configuration/properties file.
tip

This page shows properties specific to the RESTful engine. For a list of all properties, see the Java Engine Properties page.
