Log File

Name**

Defines the log file name and location.

Note: This parameter is not applicable if running the Presentation Client as an applet, see below for details.

logFile

Download Destination

Specifies the directory into which files are downloaded from the Web server. This parameter is used in conjunction with the Component URL parameter, which defines the location of the files on the Web server.

If specified in the configuration file, the value of this parameter must be added to the classpath.

Note: This parameter is not used for browser clients.

downloadDir

**If you are running the Presentation Client as an applet, you must not specify a log file.

In the browser environment the applet runs in the "sandbox", which prevents access to the local disk for security reasons. If required, trace lines can be viewed in the Java console, from which they can be copied.

If tracing to the disk is required in the browser environment, the java.policy file must be altered on the machine on which you want to trace. The following is an example of what needs to be added to the file:

grant {
permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\\users\\sample\\foo.bat", "read, write"; };
