Default generic definition files

Runtime components : Core components : Externalizers : Reference : Default generic definition files

The toolkit uses configuration files stored on the server and client sides for information it requires at runtime. For both sides, the primary configuration file is called btt.xml and is compliant with XML syntax. The btt.xml file contains a keyed collection called settings, which the Settings class reads and stores in memory.

The following table lists the generic definition files provided with the toolkit:

Default generic definition files

Filename	Contents
btt.xml	Toolkit configuration information
dsedata.xml	Data definitions
dsefmts.xml	Format and decorator definitions
dsesrvce.xml	Service definitions
dsectxt.xml	Context definitions
dsetype.xml	Type definitions
dseproc.xml	Flow processor definitions
dseviews.xml	View definitions

Note The toolkit may not require the type definition file, flow processor definition file, and view definition file depending on application requirements. For example, if the application uses typed data, the toolkit must have the type definition file.

In all cases, you can change the names of the generic definition files in the btt.xml file.
