Edit file

[tsantos]

Hello,

This is my first time here and I'd like to ask a question.

We've just bought Advanced Installer to create our installations packages. I'm trying to dynamically edit an XML file during the installation. I want to create a dialog for the user to enter with the number of server port. The installation package has to edit the XML file with the port entered by the user. How can I do this? I'm posting the XML file below. I just wanna change the "8080" in red with the port informed by the user during the installation process. Thank You.

A new configuration attribute is available beginning with
release 4.0.4:

cookieDomain configures the domain to which the SSO cookie
will be scoped (i.e. the set of hosts to
which the cookie will be presented). By default
the cookie is scoped to "/", meaning the host
that presented it. Set cookieDomain to a
wider domain (e.g. "xyz.com") to allow an SSO
to span more than one hostname.

If this valve is used, do not use the standard Tomcat SingleSignOn
valve shown above.

Valve uses a JBossCache instance to support SSO credential
caching and replication across the cluster. The JBossCache
instance must be configured separately. By default, the valve
shares a JBossCache with the service that supports HttpSession
replication. See the "tc5-cluster-service.xml" file in the
server/all/deploy directory for cache configuration details.

Besides the attributes supported by the standard Tomcat
SingleSignOn valve (see the Tomcat docs), this version also
supports the following attributes:

cookieDomain see above

treeCacheName JMX ObjectName of the JBossCache MBean used to
support credential caching and replication across
the cluster. If not set, the default value is
"jboss.cache:service=TomcatClusteringCache", the
standard ObjectName of the JBossCache MBean used
to support session replication.

Hi,

Thank you for registering Advanced Installer.

What you need can be done by using the XML Editor feature.

The first step is to add the XML file to the "Files and Folders" page in Windows Installer format (you are prompted about this when adding the XML file). After this, you use the Edit XML File dialog to replace the 8080 value with a property (for example [PORT]).

Regards,
Cosmin
