Configuration File

GateIn Portal uses a custom Shindig OpenSocial container for handling gadgets. Its configuration file can be found at: $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/gatein/gadgets/shindig.properties

For Shindig configuration options, please see the Apache Shindig documentation.

Offline Access

Some of the default features available in our version of shindig require online access. Under normal situations if the server is started without internet access, there will only be a very minor delay at startup when it tries to access some thirdparty services. This delay should be less than a second and only occurs at startup and not during runtime.

Under some situations with some specific server settings, this delay may be longer. If you are using GateIn Portal offline and are noticing long time outs from the gadget server during startup, you can configure the shindig server to not include online features. This requires modifing the shindig configuration file, $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/gatein/gadgets/shindig.properties. The following line

# Location of feature manifests (comma separated)
shindig.features.default=res://features/default-features.txt,res://features/online-features.txt

Will need to be changed to exclude the online features:

# Location of feature manifests (comma separated)
shindig.features.default=res://features/default-features.txt

By excluding the online features, features such as analytics will no longer be available to gadgets.
