Configuring the Interaction Service
The interaction service must be configured before use. When you unzip the downloaded file, you will see a WEB-INF directory. All configuration is done by editing the init param elements within the first servlet definition in the WEB-INF/web.xml file. This configuration must be done prior to deployment to a servlet engine such as Apache Tomcat.
temp_location
This should be set to point to a temporary storage area used by the interaction server to store incoming and outgoing data.
smtp_host
This must be a mail relay (a suitable outgoing SMTP mail server) that will accept messages from the host that the interaction service runs on.
mail_from
The “from” address on all email generated by the interaction service.
base_url
The external URL by which this service can be accessed. (This is set manually because some complex configurations can prevent the service from determining its own endpoint.)
