35 2 Tobias Wich
36 3 Tobias Wich
Each client implementation of the Open eCard App uses a common base set of configuration options and possibly additional client specific settings. The clients provide their own configuration dialogs that are appropriate for the platform or operating system they are running on.

In the rest of this section the settings common to all client implementations are defined and explained. The sections afterwards describe the client specific settings as well as the UIs that provide a more user friendly way to modify these settings.

h2. List of Common Settings

42 8 Tobias Wich
The Open eCard App loads and saves all its settings to a "Java style property":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties file. This file is user specific and can be found under the path @$HOME/.openecard/openecard.properties@. Besides this config file, the @.openecard@ directory may contain other client or plugin specific files, like log settings or log files.

h2. Logging
60
61
Each client may use a different logging framework. In the applet, Java Util Logging is used to save space of the executable while in the richclient, Logback provides a feature rich logging framework. Both are configured differently.
62
63
The logging configuration can be modified by a config file in the directory $HOME/.openecard (%HOME/.openecard for Microsoft Windows systems). The file must be named applet_log.properties for the applet and richclient_logback.xml for the richclient. Samples can be found at the end of this page.
64
65
After adding the config file, the log granularity of the packages and/ or classes must be configured. The syntax and possibilities of each logging framework are different from each other. The samples include an exemplary line for a package. For further details consult the documentation of the logging framework in use.
