Rendition server definition
In order to define one or several rendition servers, edit the arender-server-custom-<...>.properties configuration file as follow:
arender.server.rendition.servers=http://`{rendition_server_1}`:8761/ arondor-arender-rendition-Main/, http://`{rendition_server_2}`:8761/ arondor-arender-rendition-Main/
The value of "{rendition_server_x}" here has to be
changed by the right rendition server address
(Don't forget to reboot your Web-UI)
XFDF annotation folder configuration
A default folder is configured in ARender to saved annotations as XML files. The user that launch the application server has to have read and write rights on this folder.
By default, XFDF annotations are saved in a folder named ARenderAnnotations/ created in the home folder of the user that launch the application server.
On Windows, if the application server is launched as a service (without any user configured), the folder will be created in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.
To configure a specific folder,
- Either modify server properties in arender-server-custom-<...>.properties and add the property arender.server.annotations.xfdf.localstorage.default.path with the wanted value.
- Either create a system property named arender.annotation.xfdf.localstorage.default.path and set its value with the needed folder path.
Style sheet: ARender-mat.css
Most of the ARender graphical components can be configured in the style sheet. Consult the file for more details.
This stylesheet is related to default user profile. See the Configuration guide for more information.

The token must have the name "token".
The custom validator Java class shall implement the TokenValidator interface. It must be declared in the ARender configuration through the arender.server.json.load.token.validator property. The default validator is NoopTokenValidator.
