File structure
Configuration is defined in YAML files (their location was discussed in previous chapters) and consists of the following sections:
- 'SERVERS' - definitions of entry points used for communication with a microservice.
- 'ENTRY_POINTS' - additional parameters of entry points associated witch logical servers defined in 'SERVERS' section
- 'TRANSMISSION' - contains access list (microservice name, class and method) for remote method invocation through TRANSMISSION PORT (from administration tools).
- 'PROPERTIES' - list of runtime parameters of a microservice.
- 'APPLICATION' - list of parameters related to Spring Application context
- 'INITIALIZING_LOGGER' - configuration of microservice logger (the initialization phase).
- 'MEMORY_ERRORS' - configuration of Memory Process Keeper for a microservice
- 'THREAD_POOLS' - custom thread pools definitions
Description
Section 'SERVERS'
The section contains subsections, which are definitions of each entry point. There are three subsections, each relates to particular entry point. The name of a subsection is the name of entry point. The set of parameters for each subsection is the same.
The appropriate part of the configuration file:

Description:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| readTimeout | The maximum time in milliseconds that a socket is ready to handle traffic, after this timeout the another initialization is needed and a socket is unavailable for some time. If you interested in reading more about it, please refer to Oracle's official documentation. USE WITH CAUTION ! |
| isWaitForFinishExecuteAllRequests | Graceful shutdown switch. It determines whether the Main Server waits to complete all requests before it stops. |
| waitToShutdownThreadsOnStop | Graceful shutdown timeout. The time in milliseconds that main server waits to complete all requests. After this timeout the Main Server will be terminated regardless the status of requests. |
| backlog | The maximum queue length for incoming connections. If you interested in reading more about it, please refer to Oracle's official documentation. USE WITH CAUTION ! |
| receiveBufferSize | The value of this parameter is used both to set the size of the internal socket receive buffer, and to set the size of the TCP receive window that is advertised to the remote peer. If you interested in reading more about it, please refer to Oracle's official documentation. USE WITH CAUTION ! |
| isReuseAddress | Enabling this parameter prior to binding the socket allows the socket to be bound (through 'bind' method) even though a previous connection is in a timeout state. If you interested in reading more about it, please refer to Oracle's official documentation. USE WITH CAUTION ! |
| threadPoolSize | The number of threads that is assigned to process requests on the entry point |
| isLogPeriodicOnDebug | The switch to ignore DEBUG log level for periodic tasks in JLupin Platform core components. |
| isDestroyThreadOnTimeout | The switch that determines if microservice destroys thread after threadExecutingTimeOut occurs. USE WITH CAUTION ! |
| threadExecutingTimeOut | The maximum time of execution by a thread (from client perspective), expressed in milliseconds. After this period of time the socket associated with the request is closed, the thread executes request to the end. |
| isStartOnMainServerInitialize | The switch that determines if the logical service is started during Main Server startup procedure. |

In same cases external libraries use classloaders individually to load dependencies, and it turned out that sometimes they don't do it according to best practices. in such cases JVM should be set as a class loading coordinator. |
| isArchiveOnStart | The switch determines if microservice's resources are archived in $JLUPIN_HOME/application_archive during start or restart of the microservice. This repository is for quick recovery the previous version of the microservice, for example if the new version of the microservice works incorrectly (application errors, wrong algorithms) |
| startLogMode | The log severity of native microservice engine. The default value is 'INFO'. |
| isInitErrorCauseWithNetworkInformation | In case of synchronous requests going through many microservices, this parameters determines if the microservice adds IP address to suppressed part of the stack, being prepared by the platform in case of exception occurs. |

| jmxOptions | The set of JMX parameters |
| jmxPrimaryPort | The primary port a JMX interface (it's active after microservice startup), the value '-1' means automated port assignment performed by Main Server. The current JMX port can be taken from HTTP INFORMATION PORT, /getAllEnvironmentState. |
| jmxSecondaryPort | The secondary port a JMX interface (it's active just after the first microservice restart), the value '-1' means automated port assignment performed by Main Server. The current JMX port can be taken from HTTP INFORMATION PORT, /getAllEnvironmentState. |
