A significant change in the file transfer configuration of JADE will be introduced with release 1.11.This will mark the end of the use of text-based *.ini files and the introduction of XML-based configurations in line with an XSD schema. In parallel, a new XML Editor will be available that will automatically generate required elements where appropriate as well as allow configurations to be verified according to the schema.

For further Information about configuring JADE using *.ini approach see:

• The JADE Tutorials.
  These provide a step by step guide to using configuring and running JADE. Tutorial examples are designed to use our online demo server and can be tested with minimal configuration work. A configuration file is available for download to help you get the tutorial examples running as quickly as possible.

XML-based file transfer configuration from Release 1.11 onwards

The XML file transfer configuration introduced with release 1.11 of JADE allows parameter dependencies in JADE to be validated before the configuration file is transferred to an operating environment.

Dependencies and conflicts between configuration elements are avoided through the use of an XSD schema.

We have written an XML Editor that will simplify the creation and validation of schema-compatible file transfer configurations.

...

A detailed description of individual parameters can be found in our Parameter Reference.

The following screen shot of the the SOS XML Editor shows the configuration for a Simple File Transfer with Basic Authentication example.

...

Although longer and seemingly more complex than a comparable configuration using the *.ini file approach (see The JADE Client Tutorial 1), the XML code for this example was produced using the XML Editor and therefore has been validated against the JADE Client XSD Schema. It is therefore conflict free and dependencies are correctly specified.

...

With the change to the XML-based configuration not only has a hierarchical structure been introduced to configuration elements but many of the names used for configuration elements have been changed. We have therefore written a parameter mapping table to help users with conversion of their configurations.
