BusinessObject.properties file

The file is present in install_root/plugins/com.ibm.ws.bpm.bo.emf.jar file. The following list of parameters is defined in this file and can be modified to adjust the runtime behavior. The should modify the default value with caution and only if it is necessary for a given environment.

Parameters

WAS_XSDATE_BEHAVIOR

This property defines the way that timezones are handled for date type properties. During deserialization and serialization, a timezone must be assumed for date typed properties. A value of TRUE sets the assumed timezone to be the default local timezone while a value of FALSE sets the assumed timezone to be GMT timezone and normalize the values to GMT.

CS_LOGGING_SERIALIZE

This property defines whether a logging state ChangeSummary is serialized along with the BusinessGraph so that it is persisted across a serialize/deserialize cycle. A value of TRUE means that the logging state is persisted across serialization. A value of FALSE means that the logging state is reset to the default logging state on a deserialization.

RELAXED_TYPE_CHECKING

The default value for this parameter is FALSE. There are some scenarios that result in duplicate type definitions being loaded into packages. These conditions are errors that should be reported and resolved, but in some cases it is possible to continue by relaxing the type checking to be less strict and allow the duplicate types to compare as equal. For these cases, you can set this value to TRUE, but you should analyze and fix in problems before deploying your applications in a production environment.

VERSION

This property defines the behavior of business objects in the system, allowing you to restrict business object framework behavioral changes that would otherwise cause functional differences in an application. The business object framework behavior changes can be disabled until the applications are updated to adapt the behavioral changes. The following table lists the specific behavioral changes:

Table 1. Scenarios where the VERSION parameter will cause behavior changes

Scenario	Value = "1"	Value = "2"
DataObject.isSet() API	Throws runtime exceptions	Return true or false
DataObject.get<T>(String) API with invalid XPaths	Throws runtime exceptions	Return null
ChangeSummary.getOldValues() API when there are no changes	Returns null	Returns an empty list
DataObject.get/set<T>(int)	Uses underlying model index	Uses property index
setDate() on property of type dDay, gMonth, gMonthDay, or gTime,	Value set is java,util.Date.toString()	Value set is corresponding part of the Date value
BOEquality API	Does not properly compare gYear, gYearMonth, date, or dateTime	Compares all date values as specified in the XSD.

TRUNCATE_NAMESPACE_PREFIX

This property defines if the namespace prefix is truncated or not. The default value of TRUE truncates the namespace prefix during serialization. A value of FALSE would not perform the truncation.

SERIALIZATION_SCHEMA_COMPLIANCE

The property defines the serialization behavior of business object framework when working with business objects with any type property. If the value is set to FALSE (default), the serialized XML would contain the properties in the order in which they were set in the business object. The order does not comply with the sequence definition in the schema. If the value is set to TRUE the serialized XML would comply with the sequence definition in the schema. The order in which the properties were set does not matter.
