Description
This configuration file must hold values of the location of the deployment.properties file as well as the enforcement of these properties. Without a proper path for the properties file, deployment would not be possible. If the path specified does not lead to a properties file the value of the 'deployment.system.config. mandatory' key determines how to handle the situation. If the value of this key is true, JRE will not run if the path to the properties file is invalid. NOTE: The 'JRE' directory in the file path may reflect the specific JRE release installed.
