Configuring GAX Properties

After GAX starts for the first time, it generates the following files and folders in the installation directory:

• conf/gax.properties
• webapp
• logs
• jsp

You can configure GAX by editing the gax.properties file. The options specified in the gax.properties file are used by GAX before it connects to Configuration Server. To set additional configuration options, see Configuration Options.
