Install and Configure PoolParty GraphViews

Configure graphviews.properties based on the PoolParty server:

        pp.groups=Public # the groups for which projects will be shown in GraphViews
pp.username=graphviews # the username of the API admin user configured in PoolParty
pp.password=poolparty # the password of the API admin user configured in PoolParty
pp.url=http://localhost:8081 # the url of the server where PoolParty is running
      

If PoolParty GraphViews is deployed on the same Tomcat server as PoolParty, the URL provided should be the localhost. An external URL where PoolParty is running can also be specified.

The name of the application is configured by the property server.servlet.context-path in application.properties.

server.servlet.context-path=/GraphViews

To allow the Tomcat server to handle the Javascript files with UTF-8 encoding the following lines in graphviews.properties are required;

        # Charset of HTTP requests and responses. Added to the "Content-Type" header if not set explicitly.
spring.http.encoding.charset=UTF-8
# Enable http encoding support.
spring.http.encoding.enabled=true
# Force the encoding to the configured charset on HTTP requests and responses.
spring.http.encoding.force=true

      

The following properties define the logging level as well as the file where the logs are stored:

logging.level.root=WARN

catalina.home=<TOMCAT_HOME>/tomcat

logging.file=${catalina.home}/logs/ppgv.log
